Beschrijving voorzijde Diademed bust of Pakoros II facing left, adorned with a tall, striated tiara secured by a beaded diadem with visible ties. The portrait features a long, finely rendered pointed beard rendered in parallel incised lines, and the hair falls in stylized waves behind the neck, gathered with a looped ribbon or taenia at the rear. The king wears a torque at the neck and a draped garment with linear folds visible at the shoulder. The entire effigy is enclosed within a prominent border of large raised beads, characteristic of late Parthian hammered coinage.

Aanvullende informatie

Pakoros II ruled as a regional king under the Arsacid system during a period of intense dynastic fragmentation, when multiple claimants simultaneously held territory and struck coinage across different mints. His issues, catalogued by Sellwood in the high-70s types, belong to the late Parthian sequence when royal portraiture had become so stylized it bore little administrative relationship to the actual ruler depicted. Sellwood 78.4 specifically places this coin within a narrowly defined die grouping distinguished by subtle reverse échelon differences that specialists use to sequence the reign chronologically.
