| Obverse description | Facing bare-headed bust of Orodes IV, diademed, with two lateral loops flanking the face. The hair is rendered with two rounded tufts at the sides and a smaller oblong tuft at the crown of the head. The ruler displays a mustache and a pointed chin beard. A necklace is visible at the base of the bust, rendered in a schematic style characteristic of late Elymaean coinage. |
