| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Kamnaskires V facing left, distinguished by a long beard and a torque at the neck, rendered in the late Hellenistic style characteristic of Elymaean coinage. To the right of the royal effigy, a star appears above an anchor symbol, dynastic emblems associated with the Kamnaskirid line. The portrait is boldly struck with expressive facial features typical of the regional die-cutting tradition. The field is otherwise unadorned, focusing attention on the royal image and its accompanying symbols. |

| Reverse description | Diademed and draped male bust facing left, wearing a short beard, likely representing a dynastic ancestor or a deity in the Elymaean tradition. In the inner left field, a monogram identifies the issue or authority. In the exergue, a regnal date appears, partially legible depending on the individual specimen. The surrounding Greek legend names the king in the genitive, framing the bust on multiple lines. The style reflects the progressive debasement and artistic evolution typical of late Elymaean tetradrachms. |
