| Obverse description | Diademed and draped royal bust facing left, distinguished by a prominent wart on the forehead, short beard, and a torque terminating in a sea-horse or griffin device. The effigy is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition characteristic of early Parthian coinage, with fine drapery visible at the shoulder. The portrait conveys regal authority through its strong facial features and elaborate royal adornments. |
