| Obverse description | Diademed royal effigy facing right, rendered in Hellenistic style with curly hair falling in waves to the neck and a short, incipient beard along the chin and jaw. A broad diadem band crosses the head, with ribbon ends trailing behind the ear. The draped bust is depicted in right profile, the drapery folds visible at the truncation. The portrait exhibits the idealized yet individualistic character typical of early Elymaic royal coinage, blending Seleucid artistic conventions with local tradition. The field is enclosed by a fillet border. |
