| Reverse description | Facing bust of the king, diademed and bearded, rendered in a frontal, hieratic style characteristic of late Elymaean coinage. The portrait is surrounded by a retrograde Greek legend disposed in four lines around the central effigy, filling the field. The inscription, read in retrograde, gives the royal titulature of Kamnaskires V. The die-work is bold but schematic, with the legend letters exhibiting the degraded, cursive forms typical of this dynastic series. |
