Drachm - Orodes II no star or crescent

Orodes II secured the Parthian throne by having his brother Mithridates IV strangled — then spent the next decade fending off Rome. His reign produced the single most humiliating defeat Rome suffered in the East: the Battle of Carrhae in 53 BC, where Crassus and seven legions were destroyed by Surena's cavalry. Coins of this type were circulating Parthian silver at precisely that moment.

The absence of star and crescent places this firmly within Sellwood's grouping for the mature reign issues. Shore 223 is well-documented and relatively obtainable, but condition is almost always the constraint — these traveled hard through a vast empire.
