Ag47 New Member Australia 45 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 07:56 am I got this drachm from ebay last year (dec), nothing special but always wanted a coin from Parthia. The seller attributed it to Orodes I, 80-75 BC. 3.86g I don't know anything from this region, so can anyone tell me more about this coin? Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 08:53 am Congrats on picking up your first Parthian. This type, for years attributed as Orodes I by David Sellwood and Fred Shore (and, before them, as Sinatrukes by multiple numismatists), has more recently been reassigned to Mithradates III (87-80 BC) by G. R. F. Assar. Your coin can be classified as a Sellwood 31.5-6 (the number of points on the tiara is too worn to determine which of the two varieties, 5 or 6); Shore 122-123; Sunrise 308v. (The Sunrise Collection contains Assar's attributions) Report this Post to the Staff
