The Elymaean silver tetradrachms minted between 82-72 BC represent a fascinating numismatic tradition that borrowed heavily from Seleucid prototypes while developing distinct local characteristics. These coins typically featured crude but recognizable portraits of the ruling monarch on the obverse, often wearing a diadem or tiara, while the reverse displayed Greek deities such as Zeus or Artemis, sometimes syncretized with local Iranian gods. Right now, a silver tetradrachm from the Greek Coinage Kingdom of Elymais is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The Greek Coinage Kingdom of Elymais AR Tetradrachm available here is in About Uncirculated condition. The coin has a satin-like luster with a pleasing frost on the obverse, while the fields remain largely untoned. There is also a soft sheen across the reverse field. The coin boasts 4/5 strike and 3/5 surface grades, indicating considerable strength and good centering for the visuals, with modest wear and tear across the piece.
The Kingdom of Elymais during this early 1st century BC existed as a semi-autonomous Hellenistic state in what is now southwestern Iran, navigating the complex power dynamics between the declining Seleucid Empire and the rising Parthian Empire. This period saw Elymais maintaining its independence through strategic diplomacy and the exploitation of its position along crucial trade routes connecting Mesopotamia with the Iranian plateau.
In the obverse design of Kingdom of Elymais AR Tetradrachms, you’ll find overlapping busts of Kamnaskires III and Anzaze. Kamnaskires III ruled Elymais alongside his queen Anzaze during the late 2nd and early 1st centuries BC, representing one of the better-documented royal partnerships in Elymaean history through their joint coinage. Their co-regency exemplified the Elymaean practice of featuring royal consorts prominently in state iconography, with coins depicting both rulers’ portraits or names, suggesting Anzaze held significant political authority rather than merely ceremonial status. For the reverse, the design element features a seated deity surrounded by Elymain legends.
