| Aversbeschreibung | Diademed bust of Gotarzes II facing left, rendered in the Parthian court style with a long, rectangular beard. The diadem is tied with a loop at the top and three flowing ends; a distinctive royal wart (naevus) is visible on the forehead. A round earring is discernible at the ear. The portrait exhibits the characteristic broad, stylized facial features of later Arsacid coinage, with the bust terminating at the shoulder. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Beardless archer-king, representing the Arsacid dynastic type, seated right on a square throne with legs visible. The figure holds a bow in the right hand at arm's length in the traditional Parthian manner. A mint monogram appears below the bow in the lower field. The surrounding Greek legend, reading from the left side outside inward, proclaims the royal titulature of the Arsacid king: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΝ / ΑΡΣΑΚΟΥ / ΕΥΕΡΓΕΤΟΥ ΔΙΚΑΙΟΥ / ΕΠΙΦΑΝΟΥΣ ΦΙΛΕΛΛΗΝΟΣ, meaning 'King of Kings, Arsaces, Benefactor, Just, Manifest, Philhellene.' |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Gotarzes II secured his throne through a prolonged civil war against the Roman-backed pretender Meherdates, whose defeat near the Tigris in 49 AD was decisive enough that Roman sources — Tacitus in particular — documented the campaign in some detail. Ecbatana, the old Median capital serving as a Parthian summer residence, continued striking under him throughout the conflict.
