| Obverse description | Diademed bust of Tigranes II facing right, wearing the distinctive Armenian tiara adorned with a star emblem and secured by a diadem. The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition, with characteristic royal regalia emphasizing the king's divine and imperial authority. The tiara, a hallmark of Armenian royal iconography, rises prominently above the king's head. The field shows typical surface patination consistent with bronze coinage of the period. |
