[QUOTE="Alwin, post: 7642282, member: 108806"]Congratulations Parthicus for this rare variant! There are in fact 5 possibilities with the type which carries ΔAIΣI at the exergue. - ΔAIΣI only (S.55. -) - Γ ΔAIΣI (S.55.5) = ΓOPΠIAIOY - Π ΔAIΣI (S.55.6) = ΠANHMOY - O ΔAIΣI (S.55. -) = OΛΩOY - Y ΔAIΣI (S.55. -) = YΠEPBEPETAIOY From what I can see, the letter on your coin is Y. Another specimen here: "[I]Les tétradrachmes d'Orodès II et de Phraates IV[/I]", Fr. de Callataÿ, Pages 72/73, D55-R2 - Planche VI, 150. In my humble opinion there is not the slightest chance that this series could belong to Tiridates. I try to explain it here: [URL]http://www.parthika.fr/Tiridates.html#haut[/URL][/QUOTE]
