Assist - determining type - Ordoes II drachm
« on: December 19, 2022, 06:36:00 pm »
Hello, again! In adding to my growing Parthia-type coins, I came across this great resource but could use an assist on determining something.

https://www.parthia.com/orodes2.htm

I see references to 'Wart visible on forehead'. I see a dot on my piece, can someone tell me if this is the 'wart'?

Many thanks for the extra set of eyes.
