It is interesting to note that the S.61 drachms, whether struck at Ecbatane, Rhagae, Mithradatkart or Aria, retain remarkably the same style, with this disproportionately long face, very different from the effigy of type S.62 and S.63.</p><p><br /></p><p>2- The drachm with a +</p><p>It is a S.65.33 drachm of Gotarzes II, so the + as a left&nbsp; leg/foot is normal.
