Commentary


Poids lourd pour un tétradrachme. Ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous proposons un exemplaire à la vente.
A heavyweight for a tetradrachm. This type seems rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time we've offered a example for sale.

Historical background


PARTHIAN KINGDOM - UNKNOWN KING (ARSAKES XVI)

(80-70 BC)

We have no information about this unknown king who remained on the Arsacid throne for ten years, and who was previously identified with Gotarzes I. Today, modern authors attribute this coinage to Artaban II or Arsaces XVI, son of Mithridates who would have remained between 78/77 and 62/61 BC..
