| Aversbeschreibung | Bust of Gotarzes II facing left, depicted in the Parthian court style with a distinctive wart or protuberance on the forehead, a characteristic feature of his portraiture. The king wears a tiara adorned with multiple rows of pellets arranged in a stepped pattern, a torque at the neck, and a draped garment visible at the shoulder. The portrait is rendered in a somewhat crude but vigorous style typical of the late Seleucian tetradrachm coinage, with the facial features showing a pronounced nose and defined jawline. No legend appears on the obverse, the field being plain around the royal effigy. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Gotarzes II seized the Parthian throne through a prolonged and brutal civil war against his half-brother Vardanes I, a conflict that consumed most of the 40s AD and left the empire's western territories badly destabilized. The Seleucia mint's output during his reign is complicated by the city's own history of revolt — Seleucia had declared independence from Parthian control in 36 AD and held out for seven years before Vardanes retook it. Coins struck there under Gotarzes carry the weight of that recent rupture.
Sellwood 65.23 is among the later emissions of his reign, datable to the period after Vardanes was killed in 47 AD.
