Elymais. Arsacid dynasty. Unidentified King (uncertain dates)van't Haaff 21.1.1-2; de Morgan --; BMC --; Sear GICV --; Alram --
AE unit (denomination undetermined), 1.45 g., 11.23 mm. max., 0°
Obv: Bust facing left, side whiskers of one row of dots, hair tuft at back of head.
Rev: Anchor with two crossbars at top, all within wreath.
According to van't Haaf: (a) too few of these coins are known to determine their denomination; (b) the details of the bust are "unclear," yet this bust is similar to van't Haaff Type 19.1 (Prince A); and (c) the reverse border is a wreath whereas this border looks like the pellets that are typical on the borders of so many Elymaean types.Stkp

Possibly Elymais. Arsacid dynasty. Osroes (1st quarter of 2nd century A.D.). Probably Parthia. Osroes I (109-129 A.D.).van't Haaff 15.3.1-1; de Morgan --; BMC -- Sear GICV --; Alram --
AE (Elymaean) obol or (Parthian) chalkous, 1.91 g., 12.22 mm. max., 0°
Obv: Bust facing left, with long beard and hair dressed in Parthian fashion, with a large tuft behind the face extending to the back of the head, topped by a large tuft bound with a diadem, its tips streaming behind; pellet border.
Rev: Diademed female bust (Tyche, if a Parthian emission) right; possible traces of inscription (date) to right; no border.
Van't Haaff recognized that "the attribution of Type 15 coins has been controversial" and notes that de Morgan, Le Rider and Alram have posited that they are issues of Osroes I of Parthia. Hoover agrees with these scholars, "[d]espite their appearance in the French excavations of Susa." He notes a stylistic affinity between them and Sellwood Type 80. This coin apparently appeared in association with Elymaean bronze coins in a commercial hoard, and not in the French excavations referred to by Hoover. Bell retains these emissions in the Elymaean series, but questions whether there was a separate Elymaean king Osroes. Rezakhani tentatively concludes that the Elymaean and Parthian Osroes are in fact the same person.
