Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts the bust of Vologases V, the Parthian emperor, wearing a crown that is a combination of a Greek wreath and a Persian tiara. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and synthesis that occurred during the Parthian Empire, which was known for its diverse and multicultural society.
