| Obverse description | Diademed head of Orophernes Nicephorus facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with carefully detailed curling hair. A broad royal diadem encircles the head, its trailing ends falling behind the neck. The portrait is executed in high relief with a strong, youthful profile, smooth facial features, and a slightly idealized physiognomy characteristic of mid-2nd century BC Cappadocian royal coinage. The field is flat and unadorned, focusing full attention on the commanding royal effigy. |
