| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Phraates V facing left, with short curly beard and elaborate hair rendered in fine parallel lines; the king wears a torque at the neck and is depicted in the Parthian court style. Two eagle-topped scepters or standards flank the effigy in the upper field, one to each side, serving as dynastic emblems. The portrait is boldly modeled with strong facial features characteristic of late Arsacid coinage. |
