| Obverse description | Conjoined draped busts of King Kamnaskires III and Queen Anzaze facing left, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition with the royal couple presented in overlapping profile. An anchor symbol, an emblem of Seleucid dynastic heritage, appears in the left field behind the busts. The portrait style reflects the blending of Parthian and Greek artistic conventions characteristic of Elymaean royal coinage of the late second to early first century BC. |

| Reverse description | Zeus enthroned left, depicted in the Hellenistic manner, holding a long scepter in his left hand and a figure of Nike in his outstretched right hand; Nike extends a wreath toward the god in a crowning gesture. A monogram appears in the lower field beneath the throne arm, serving as a mint or magistrate mark. The composition closely follows Seleucid reverse types adapted by the Elymaean dynasty and reflects the enduring Greek artistic influence on the coinage of the region. |
