A seven-line Greek inscription fills the field, recording the full royal titulature of the Arsacid king.

附加信息	Phraates IV secured the Parthian throne around 37 BC by murdering his own father Orodes II and systematically eliminating his brothers — a consolidation of power so brutal that it prompted a temporary defection of the nobility to Rome. By the mid-20s BC, when this tetradrachm was struck, his position had stabilized enough that he negotiated the return of the Roman standards captured at Carrhae in 53 BC, a diplomatic coup Augustus exploited heavily in his own propaganda. Phraates sent four of his sons to Rome as hostages to cement the arrangement. Sellwood 52.1 belongs to a tightly defined issue within his long reign, distinguished by specific obverse die characteristics catalogued by Shore.
