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.
