Reverse description Frontal draped bust of Belos (the Babylonian deity Marduk), facing the viewer, set within a beaded circular border. The figure is depicted in a schematic, highly stylized manner consistent with the debased provincial coinage of late Elymaean rulers. The bust occupies the central field, with the surrounding beaded border clearly visible. The reverse design reflects the syncretic religious iconography common to the Elymais region, blending Mesopotamian and Parthian artistic traditions. No legible inscription or legend is present on this type.
