Kam1drachm.jpg
Kamnaskires I/II, AR DrachmKamnaskires I/II, AR Drachm, 147 to 139 B.C.

Obv: Diademed bust facing right within fillet border
Rev: BASILEWS KAMNASKE, HS in exergue, Apollo facing left, holding arrow and bow, sitting on an omphalos, legend around, within dotted border.
Mint: Most likely minted while Kamnaskires was not in control of Susa.

Weight: 4.13 grams
Die axis 12 o'clock

van't Haaff 2.1.2-1a (Plate Coin)

van't Haaff believes that Kamnaskires I and II are the same ruler. There is no evidence to suggest that they were two different rulers.

This is from Stephen Album's List 228, Item 20646, September 2007.

This is one of the coins that caused the change in the chronology of Elymais coins, because of the inscription in front of the bust. See Bell's article in The Celator, Vol. 16, No. 4, April 2002.

Ex. Superior Stamp & Coin, The New York International Numismatic Convention Auction, December 3 & 4, 1999, Lot 1647. Ex Goldberg Coins and Collectibles, September 17, 2007.
