| Obverse description | Bust of Vardanes I facing left, depicted with a distinctive tiara or mural crown composed of multiple horizontal ridges, with long curled beard rendered in fine parallel lines. A crescent-and-star symbol appears in the left field before the king's face. The portrait is executed in the characteristic Parthian artistic style with an elongated, schematic treatment of facial features and elaborate hair. The field is plain and the coin is bordered by a beaded circle. |
