Obverse description Diademed bust of Mithridates IV facing left, with a short beard and draped shoulders. The double-banded diadem is embellished with additional engraved lines on the band, lending a distinctive decorative quality. A segmented necklet adorned with a central medallion encircles the neck. The portrait reflects the late Parthian court style, combining Hellenistic bust conventions with Iranian royal regalia.
