Sold for $230. This amount does not include the buyer’s fee.

KINGS of PARTHIA. Orodes II(?). 58/7 - 38 BC. AR Obol (10mm, 0.64 gm). Uncertain mint. Diademed bust left / Figure standing left, holding wreath(?) and palm(?). Unpublished. Toned VF. Apparently unique.

From the Bellaria Collection. Ex Schulten (27-29 March 1990), lot 455.

Although Schulten cataloged this piece as a Parthian coin of Orodes II, the style suggests an Indo-Parthian or Indo-Scythian issue.
