| Obverse description | Draped bust of Pacorus II facing left, wearing a distinctive tiara adorned with a dotted diadem and surmounted by a wreath of laurel or olive leaves. The king is depicted with a short beard, his hair dressed in characteristic Parthian fashion with long ribbons or diadem ends falling behind the neck. The portrait is rendered in fine hammered relief displaying the bold, stylized artistic conventions of late Parthian royal coinage. |
