<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 25478532, member: 81887&quot;]The coin is indeed Orodes II, Sellwood 45.10, &quot;Court at Ekbatana&quot; mint according to Sellwood.&nbsp; The Sunrise number is wrong- #365 in Sunrise has a Nisa mintmark.&nbsp; Don&#039;t worry about the legend; Orodes II is the point where the legends on Parthian drachms become just a standard formula that doesn&#039;t tell you anything useful about who issued the coin, and even that is starting to show degradation in the letter forms. (For the record, it reads &quot;Basileos basileon Arsakou euergetou dikaiou epiphanous philellenos&quot; [of the King of Kings Arsakes, beneficent, just, illustrious, and loving the Greeks].)&nbsp; A nice coin, congratulations![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
