| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Vologases III facing left, wearing a distinctive tiara adorned with a diadem; the letter B appears to the right in the field. The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition characteristic of late Parthian coinage, with fine detail in the royal headdress and drapery visible at the shoulder. |

| Reverse description | Vologases III enthroned left in regal posture, receiving a wreath from Tyche, the goddess of fortune, who stands to the right in presentation pose. Above the main composition, the Greek letters ΔΛΥ appear in the field, likely denoting a regnal or dating element. The exergue contains an abbreviated month designation. The scene follows the established Parthian royal investiture iconographic formula. |
