| Obverse description | Diademed and bearded bust of Wahbarz (Oborzos) facing right, distinguished by a prominent moustache and earring, the head crowned with a kyrbasia (the characteristic Achaemenid-style satrapal headdress). The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition with fine die-cutting typical of Persis royal coinage. |
