| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed bust of Osroes II facing left, featuring a long, tapered beard and a tiara adorned with an ear flap, pellets on the crest, and pellets arranged vertically along the side of the diadem. The diadem is tied with loops and terminates in four pendant ends falling behind the neck. A segmented necklet is visible at the base of the bust, consistent with late Parthian royal portraiture conventions. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The archer king — a traditional Arsacid type — is depicted seated right upon a throne, holding a bow in the outstretched hand. Below the bow appears the monogram identified as Shore 88. The surrounding legend is largely blundered Greek, with the top line rendered in Aramaic script (Shore type 3), incorporating the royal name of Osroes, reflecting the characteristic late Parthian debasement of the Greek epigraphic tradition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Osroes II is one of the most obscure rulers in the Parthian king-list, appearing briefly around 190–191 AD during a period of near-continuous dynastic fragmentation following the Roman campaigns of Lucius Verus. His coinage is known from only a handful of types, all struck at Ecbatana, suggesting a severely limited territorial hold — possibly little more than the Median heartland while Vologases IV controlled the bulk of Arsacid territory. Sellwood 85.1 is the primary attributed type for this ruler, making the series essentially one coin deep.
