| Obverse description | Bearded bust of Orodes I facing left, wearing an elaborate tiara adorned with a row of pellets and a decorative crest, with a torque visible at the neck. The king's beard is rendered in fine curls in the Hellenistic tradition. An anchor symbol appears in the field behind the bust, serving as a dynastic emblem. The portrait is executed in a distinctive Parthian-Hellenistic style with a dotted border surrounding the field. |
