| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of King Meredates facing right, wearing a diadem with flowing ribbon and a tiara adorned with relief decoration. The king displays a prominent stylized beard rendered in pellet form, characteristic of Characene royal portraiture. The effigy is rendered in low relief on an irregularly flan, with drapery visible at the truncation of the neck and shoulder. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Characene, the kingdom centered at Charax Spasinu near the Persian Gulf, occupied a precarious position between Parthian overlordship and the lucrative Indian Ocean trade routes. Meredates — likely a dynast of the mid-second century AD — is among the more obscure rulers of the series, and issues naming a co-ruler or consort alongside him are particularly uncommon. The pairing of two names on a bronze issue of this weight class suggests a deliberate assertion of dynastic legitimacy rather than purely commercial necessity.
