| Obverse description | Diademed bust of Mithridates IV facing left, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition with fine detail. The king wears a royal diadem with flowing ends and a segmented or beaded necklace adorned with a central medallion pendant. The portrait displays characteristic Parthian artistic style with elongated facial features and a pronounced eye. The bust is set within a beaded border, with the field showing the typical die-cut irregularity of hammered coinage. |
