<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 2568661, member: 74834&quot;]From Artabanus II have this difficult billon coin. It&#039;s a rather ruinous drachm with very little silver in it, Sellwood 63.9. To help you look I&#039;m copying an entry of the Baldwin catalog #90 where Sellwood&#039;s own collection was auctioned, with some comparable billon drachms. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]555245[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse is clear enough: head to left, the familiar loop at the backside of the diadem. Pearl rim at the upper edge. </p><p>On the reverse, you can see the bow (form of a saucer) of the sitting king Arsaces and at the far left of the coin, vaguely, the outstretched arm of that mythical forefather. The double rows of dots are all what&#039;s left of the text.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]555246[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
