| Obverse description | Diademed and tiara-crowned bust of Artabanus II facing left, rendered in the late Parthian style with pronounced linear engraving. The king is depicted bearded, with long striated hair falling behind the neck, and wearing a torque at the throat. A decorative tiara with crenellated upper edge surmounts the head, with a long diadem ribbon extending behind. The bust is set within a beaded border, with the field plain and unlettered. |
