Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 12/22/2015 09:00 am One of my favorite drachm types from the second half of the empire's run. Nice pick-up, Albert. So Echizento, David, and now you each added a Parthian drachm to your collections within the last few weeks. I love it...may the contagion continue to spread. Report this Post to the Staff
DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 12/22/2015 10:54 am I like it, an attractive coin. I can see the temptation to keep adding new examples and varieties of these coins because they are pretty interesting and pleasing. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 12/22/2015 11:32 am My own Volo I drachm is a Sellwood 70.13 and, as such, it lacks the monogram behind the head of the king on the obverse - as we see on Albert's (the monogram, according to Shore, is an abbreviation of the king's name in Aramaic). However, mine does have a strange wide-eyed portrait with incredibly long nose and cool corn-on-the-cob hairdo. I love the weird artistry of some of these later issues. Report this Post to the Staff

Sellwood 63.6 (Shore 341), Albert. 71.1 was the first coin, Volo I. These Artabanos II's are among the most commonly encountered Parthian types. Yours is a very nice example. Congrats. Okay, two down. I'm looking forward to number three! Report this Post to the Staff
