Kingdom of Parthia. Parthamaspates, c. AD 116. AR Drachm (3.71 g) minted at Ecbatana. Bust left of Parthamaspates wearing decorated tiara. Reverse: Archer seated right, holding bow. Sellwood 81/1. Light hoard toning remaining. Superb Extremely Fine. The Roman emperor Trajan promoted Parthamaspates, great-nephew of Osroes I, to the Parthian throne. The coins of the puppet king Parthamaspates can be easily identified by his long moustache. Although his reign was short (about a year), there was a large hoard of his coins found in the late 1960s. At the time, the drachms, all of which were VF+ to Mint State, retailed around $150. About the time these were found, another large group of drachms was found, those of Arsakes I and II. These early coins were much more expensive, especially the relatively few which included "Autokrator" on the reverse (Sellwood 1/1). This hoard is partially documented in the 1971 Numismatic Chronicle article, "A Hoard of early Parthian drachms" by M. Abgarians and David Sellwood. Estimated Value $400 - 500.
