| Reversbeschreibung | Draped bust of Kamnaskires V facing right, rendered in the same barbarized Hellenistic style as the obverse, with a diademed tiara and curled hair. The bust is surrounded by a retrograde Greek legend distributed around the periphery of the coin, partially legible due to the irregular flan and crude striking characteristic of late Elymaean coinage. An anchor symbol appears in the field. The overall composition reflects the numismatic conventions of the Elymaean dynastic coinage of the first century BC. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Kamnaskires V ruled Elymais — a semi-independent kingdom wedged between Parthia and the Persian Gulf coast — during a period of chronic dynastic instability in which the region changed hands repeatedly between local pretenders and Parthian overlords. His coinage is notable for the progressive degradation of Greek artistic conventions into increasingly schematic, almost abstract forms, a process well advanced by this issue. The reverse bust, an unusual compositional choice, likely reflects a local workshop tradition diverging sharply from mainstream Parthian mint practice.
