| Obverse description | Diademed and bearded bust of Manchihr III facing left, depicted in the Parthian tradition and wearing a tiara ornamented with a pellet-in-crescent motif. The portrait is rendered in the characteristic schematic style of late Persis coinage, with the diadem ties visible behind the head. The field surrounding the effigy carries an Aramaic legend. |
