| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Mithridates II facing left, the diadem rendered with fine striations and long flowing ties descending behind the neck. The king wears a prominent torque at the throat, ornamented with spherical terminals, and a cuirass or gorget decorated with pellets visible at the shoulder. A full, carefully articulated beard frames the face, and the hair is depicted in wavy ridges beneath the diadem. The entire portrait is enclosed within a beaded border, characteristic of Parthian royal coinage of this period. |
