Obverse description	Diademed and draped bust of Kamnaskires V facing left, wearing a tiara adorned with a beaded diadem and elaborate curled hair. The king's long, forked beard is rendered in characteristic Elymaean style, and his garment features a dotted neckline. To the right of the bust, an anchor symbol — a dynastic emblem — is visible in the field. The portrait is contained within a beaded border and displays the distinctive barbarized Hellenistic artistic tradition of the Elymaean kingdom.
