The silver drachm was the principal currency of the Parthian Kingdom and represented a continuation of the Hellenistic monetary tradition inherited from the Seleucid Empire. Mithradates II, who ruled from approximately 124 to 91 BCE, is considered one of the greatest Parthian monarchs and earned the epithet “the Great” for his extensive military and diplomatic achievements. Right now, Parthian Kingdom Mithradates II AR Drachm Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each Parthian Kingdom Mithradates II AR Drachm Coin offered here is a Mint State ancient silver coin. These pieces will showcase some variety in the appearance, with strong design strikes present and surfaces that include bright, silver-white visuals and the possibility of minimal, even toning throughout the obverse and reverse fields.
The Parthian Kingdom dominated much of the ancient Near East from approximately 247 BCE to 224 CE, serving as a crucial buffer and rival between the Roman Empire to the west and various nomadic tribes to the east. Founded by Arsaces I, the Parthians were originally a nomadic Iranian people who gradually built a vast empire that stretched from the Euphrates River to the edges of India, controlling the lucrative Silk Road trade routes.
The obverse of the Mithradates II AR Drachm Coin features a left-profile bust of the monarch. During his reign, the Parthian Empire reached its maximum territorial extent, stretching from Mesopotamia to the borders of China, and he successfully established diplomatic relations with the Han Dynasty, facilitating Silk Road commerce. Mithradates II also initiated contact with Rome, receiving a Roman embassy and asserting Parthian sovereignty over Armenia, while his internal reforms strengthened royal authority and redefined the kingdom’s coinage system.
On the reverse of Parthian Kingdom Mithradates II AR Drachms, you’ll find a right-profile relief of the monarch seated on his throne. The inscriptions on Parthian drachms were usually written in Greek, reflecting the Hellenistic influence on Parthian court culture, though the artistic style evolved over time to incorporate more distinctly Iranian characteristics, and the coins served not only as currency but also as important propaganda tools for projecting royal legitimacy throughout the empire.
