Artabanos IV of Parthia 213–224 AD was one of the last rulers of the Parthian Empire before its fall to the Sassanian dynasty. His silver drachms are significant, as they reflect the declining artistry and political turmoil of the late Parthian period. The obverse typically features a stylized portrait of Artabanos IV, often wearing a diadem or royal headband, with Parthian script surrounding it. The reverse displays a seated archer, a traditional symbol of Parthian heritage and military prowess. Artabanos IV’s drachms are valued by historians for insights into the late Parthian economy and the empire’s final phase before its collapse. We have acquired a group of his drachms in Very Fine grade. Get a silver drachm of one of the last Parthian kings while you can. PLEASE NOTE: PHOTOGRAPHY IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COIN SUPPLIED
