| Obverse description | Draped bust of Tigranes II facing right, wearing the distinctive Armenian tiara adorned with a star flanked by two eagles in relief, the headdress secured by a diadem. The royal portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition, with fine detail in the facial features and drapery folds visible at the bust's truncation. The tiara, a hallmark of Armenian royal iconography, rises prominently above the king's head and serves as the principal identifying element of the obverse design. |
