| Obverse description | Diademed and bearded bust of Mithridates II facing left, wearing a royal diadem (taenia) tied at the nape. The king's long beard is rendered in fine detail characteristic of late Parthian portraiture. A circular pomegranate motif appears in the field, serving as a dynastic or mint symbol. The effigy is set within a beaded border, with the portrait exhibiting the stylized realism typical of Ecbatana and Rhagae workshop production. |
