(Vendue pour $7000.0)
Kingdom of Parthia. Phraataces, c. 2 BC - AD 4. AR Drachm (3.83 g) minted at Ecbatana. Diademed bust left of Phraataces; on either side, Nike crowning king. Reverse: Crowned bust left of Queen Musa; under chin, mint monogram. Sellwood 58/9. We note some faint scratching in fields; rare. Extremely Fine. This coin type numismatically signals the rise of an Italian slave girl, Musa, to Queen of the Parthians. Along the way, she married Phraates IV, mothered Phraataces ("little Phraates"), had Phraates IV poisoned, then married her own son, Phraataces. There are few historical figures such as Musa; her coins are very rare and coveted. Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000. Categories: Ancient Greek Coinage
