| Obverse description | Diademed and bearded bust of King Tiraios II facing right, with elaborate curled hair rendered in fine relief and long flowing diadem ribbons trailing behind. The full beard is rendered with characteristic Parthian-influenced corded striations, and the royal diadem is prominently displayed above the forehead. The portrait displays a strong, mature physiognomy consistent with Hellenistic royal iconography of the period. The field is plain, and the design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
