| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed head of Malichus I facing right, with flowing hair rendered in stylized wavy locks characteristic of Nabataean portraiture. The effigy displays a broad diadem tied behind the head, with ribbon ends visible. The portrait is set within a plain field, bordered by a dotted inner circle partially visible at the rim. The modeling of the facial features reflects the Hellenistic artistic tradition adapted to local Nabataean style. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Malichus I ruled the Nabataean Kingdom from around 60 to 30 BC, and his coinage was struck during a period of uncomfortable dependence on Roman patronage — he was compelled by Mark Antony to provide cavalry support during the Parthian campaigns of the late 30s BC. Meshorer 59 places this emission squarely within that fraught moment, when Nabataean political autonomy was functionally subordinate to whatever Roman faction held the eastern Mediterranean.
Nabataean silver of this period was struck on a reduced Attic standard, a deliberate departure from earlier issues.
