| Additional information |
Mithridates IV ruled Parthia during a period of dynastic instability — his reign is bracketed by the reigns of Orodes I and the eventual consolidation under Orodes II, making the exact succession murky even to ancient sources. The star control mark behind the bust on Sellwood 41.12 distinguishes it from the broader 41-series issues and likely denotes a specific mint workshop or chronological batch rather than a separate monetary authority.
Mithridates IV's coinage is relatively scarce; his reign lasted no more than four years before he was displaced.
