Parthia, Artabanos II. or Gotrazes II. ?
Schatz:
Alwin and quadrans,
the pictures on Alwin's website are so much better than mine, and one can see the difference clearly. Ideally, of course, all coins would be so well defined, but sometimes one simply has to guess. With other similar coins the reverse legend will give you a clue but in the case of Artabanos II. and Gotarzes II they are identical unless you happen to have very rare Gotarzes II drachm with the name spelled out on the reverse:

Best wishes for the holiday season, and, Alwin, I hope that dreadful anniversary that is coming up for you will not spoil your Christmas.
Schatz
