| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse depicting a seated figure in profile facing right, rendered in a schematic and stylized manner characteristic of Caucasian Albanian imitative drachms derived from Hellenistic models, possibly imitating a seated deity or ruler. The figure appears draped and occupies the central field, with simplified linear rendering of the throne or seat visible to the right. The design is boldly struck but executed in a provincial, barbaric style with little fine detail. The field surrounding the figure is plain, with no discernible legend or inscription. The flan is irregular with a notable fissure at the upper rim, consistent with the hammered production technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Caucasian Albania — the ancient polity occupying roughly modern Azerbaijan and southern Dagestan, entirely unrelated to the Balkan nation — produced coinage that remains poorly understood, with attribution still contested among specialists. The Sergeev sequence for these anonymous drachms covers considerable die variation, and individual pieces are difficult to pin to a specific ruler or mint center with confidence. Scholarly consensus has not settled on a definitive issuing authority.
Finds concentrate around the Kura-Araxes river system. The kingdom sat at the intersection of Parthian and Roman spheres of influence throughout this period.
