| Obverse description | Crude bust of the king facing left, wearing a diadem with pellets and a torque visible at the neck. The hair is rendered in a stylized, beaded fashion characteristic of late Elymaic coinage. The portrait retains Parthian artistic conventions in its schematic execution, with a prominent eye shown frontally. The overall style reflects the debased and increasingly abstracted engraving typical of the Elymais Arsacid dynasty in the first and second centuries AD. |
