The silver drachms issued by the Parthian Kingdom represent an important surviving body of coinage from the ancient Iranian world and continue to receive considerable attention from collectors and numismatists. Struck across nearly five centuries of Arsacid rule, the drachm functioned as one of the primary silver denominations of an empire that emerged as a major political and military rival to Rome throughout the ancient Near East. This AR Drachm earned an About Uncirculated grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Right now, Greek Empires Parthian Kingdom AR Drachms are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each Greek Empires Parthian Kingdom AR Drachm offered here comes in About Uncirculated condition. Ancient coins with an AU grade exhibit only traces of friction and wear on the highest relief points. The overall designs, details, and legends remain crisp and easily readable.
Parthian drachms were struck at numerous mints located throughout the extensive territories controlled by the Arsacid Empire, with production centers extending from Mesopotamia into regions of Iran farther east. Despite the broad geographic distribution of these minting operations, the drachms maintained recognizable weight standards along with characteristic Arsacid royal portraits and established reverse types.
On the obverse, Orodes II is depicted in left-facing profile wearing the traditional royal diadem of the Parthian kings along with his recognizable pointed beard. The portrait incorporates the individualized facial details characteristic of Arsacid royal imagery during the mid-1st century BC. On the reverse is the established image of the enthroned archer, a familiar dynastic symbol associated with Arsacid rule, accompanied by Greek inscriptions in a design that follows the longstanding artistic and monetary traditions of Parthian royal coinage.
