An unusual Pharnabazus (?)
« on: January 23, 2022, 08:05:10 pm »
I bought this from a dealer who id'd it as a coin of Datames.  But looking more closely at the legend it looks to me like 𐡐𐡓𐡍𐡁𐡆𐡅 PRNBZU.   Anybody with superior Aramaic chops able to confirm?

With questions about a coin please give also weight and size and show the other side (a coin usually does have this :)).

It is the legend of Pharnabazos and there are variants as on your coin:
