| Obverse description | Bust of a long-bearded king facing left, wearing a tiara decorated with a pellet-in-crescent motif, a diadem, and an earring. Behind the royal effigy appear two symbols in the field: a pellet within a crescent and an anchor, both characteristic Arsacid dynastic emblems. The portrait reflects the degenerate late Elymaic style, with schematic rendering of facial features. The coin is bordered by a dotted or beaded circle. |
