| Obverse description | Draped bust of Tigranes II facing right, wearing the distinctive Armenian tiara adorned with a star and eagle emblem, the tiara featuring a stepped crown characteristic of the Artaxiad dynasty. The king's facial features are rendered in Hellenistic style with strong, idealized profile. A monogram or control mark appears in the left field. The flan is irregular and slightly porous, consistent with provincial bronze coinage of the period. |
