    Good evening! I havent posted any Parthians as of late...so i thought i'd post this one.....frankly, im a little stumped. When i acquired this coin, it was listed as Orodes II...i do know based on looking at it, that it is not. I am inclined to believe it is a sellwood 36.10 coin of Darius. Any opinions on this one, are, as always, appreciated. Also, if anyone has anything related, please post for us to see! 20190108_123104.jpg 20190108_123137.jpg

    Good call, William. Sellwood 36.10 (legend #3, mint: Rhagae - close up of the reverse, below). Sellwood had these as "Darius?" (with the question mark) Shore and Assar have the S.36's as Phraates III. Shore has your coin as his #156 - that is, as Shore 156.
