Howard Cole:
I hate to say this, but I strongly suspect this coin to be a fake. It is suppose to be a tetradrachm of Phraatakes and Musa of Parthia. The problem is that the bust of the ruler, Phraatakes is wrong. He should not have a helment with hooks on it. The beard is also wrong. The bust looks more like Vologases III, which ruled 100 years later.
