| 表面の説明 | Draped bust of the king facing left, with a short beard, wearing a tiara adorned on its side with a horn — an emblematic device of Parthian royal iconography. The portrait is rendered in Hellenistic style, with fine linear engraving characteristic of late second-century BC Parthian coinage. A circular border of pellets frames the entire obverse field. |

Media Atropatene — the rump kingdom carved from the northwestern corner of the old Median satrapy after Alexander's death — spent much of the first century BC oscillating between Parthian suzerainty and uneasy autonomy. The ruler named Darius attested by this series is known almost exclusively through his coinage; no literary source names him with any confidence, and the chronology of his reign is reconstructed largely from hoard evidence and die studies.
Sellwood 37 places this issue within a sequence that shows progressive stylistic degradation, suggesting a mint working under pressure or with deteriorating supervision rather than a stable royal court at full capacity.
