Hi

I have to Parthian Coins of which I am unsure which ruler they show. Both ruler seem have little stags on their crown. I read that Phraates III. and his father Sinatruces had those stags on their crown. Furthermore some variants of Gotarzes I. also seem have those stags. Which ruler do my two coins show?

Coin 1

Weight: 4.11 Gramm
Size: 20 mm

Thank you for the input. I have not found any coins of Mithridates II with the row of little stags on the crown:
