Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 07/19/2017 6:23 pm Hi everyone, I recently acquired a parthian bronze/copper coin from a reputable dealer. I know almost nothing about this type of coin - but the design is really cool. The dealer suggested that it is possibly minted in the name of Phraates, son of Orodes. However, I'm really not sure. Any help IDing this coin would be appreciated! Edited by Archraz 07/19/2017 6:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

In the mean time I think it might be this.... Head of Phraates facing, wearing tiara; to right, crescent and anchor Radiate Artemis-Nanaia standing right, drawing arrow and holding bow Van't Haaf 14.1 But I'm probably completely wrong! Bob will know Nice coin Saludos Paul Report this Post to the Staff

Otherwise, completely correct...well, except for the missing extra "f" in Van't Haaff. Good call. Van't Haaff type 14.1, an AE drachm of Phraates, early to mid 2nd century AD. Neat little coin, Archraz! Report this Post to the Staff
