| Aversbeschreibung | Bust of Mithridates II facing left, depicted with a long, elaborately braided beard and wearing a distinctive tiara or mural crown ornamented with a rosette motif and rows of pearls or beads. The portrait is rendered in high relief in a bold Hellenistic style, with pronounced facial features characteristic of later Parthian coinage. The hair falls in long, beaded locks behind the neck, and the king's garment is visible at the truncation. The field is plain and unadorned, framed by a beaded border encircling the flan. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Mithridates II ruled the Parthian Empire at its greatest territorial extent, pushing boundaries from Mesopotamia into areas of the former Seleucid realm and receiving Chinese Han dynasty envoys around 115 BC — the first documented diplomatic contact between Parthia and China along what would become the Silk Road. This drachm dates to the final years of his reign, a period when his authority was being increasingly challenged by Tigranes of Armenia and internal dynastic pressure that would fracture Parthia after his death in 91 BC.
Sellwood 28.1 is distinguished from adjacent types by the short beard treatment and specific diadem detail visible under magnification.
