| Obverse description | Diademed bust of Phraates IV facing left, the diadem rendered as a double band, with a prominent wart on the forehead serving as a personal identifier of the king. A segmented necklet adorns the bust, and a wreath-carrying eagle is positioned behind the royal head. A crescent symbol appears in the field before the face, and the entire design is enclosed within a dotted border. The portrait reflects the developed Parthian regal style, with medium beard and confident profile typical of late Phraatid coinage. |
