| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Elymais occupied the mountainous region northeast of the Persian Gulf — roughly modern Khuzestan — and by the second century AD had devolved into a deeply local power, its Arsacid rulers increasingly disconnected from the Parthian mainstream. The billon coinage of this period reflects that decline: silver content had been so thoroughly debased by successive rulers that these pieces are functionally copper alloy with a silver memory.
Phraates is one of several poorly documented kings in the late Elymaean sequence, his reign reconstructed almost entirely from coin evidence rather than any written source.
