| Obverse description | Bare diademed bust of Autophradates II facing right, wearing the distinctive kyrbasia (Persian tiara) adorned with an eagle device. The portrait is rendered in the local Perside artistic tradition, combining Hellenistic portraiture conventions with distinctly Iranian iconographic elements. The diadem ribbons fall behind the neck, and the kyrbasia is shown with its characteristic forward-pointing peak. |
