The Elymais AR Tetradrachm of Kamnaskires III and Anzaze (82-72 BC) is a rare silver coin from the lesser-known but historically fascinating kingdom of Elymais, a Parthian vassal state in ancient Persia. Struck during the joint reign of King Kamnaskires III and Queen Anzaze, this coin reflects the unique blend of Hellenistic and Near Eastern influences that defined Elymaean coinage. The obverse features a diademed bust of Kamnaskires III, showcasing his royal authority, while the reverse often depicts Arsacid-style imagery or local deities, symbolizing the region’s cultural and political ties to Parthia.
This tetradrachm is a remarkably well-preserved specimen of Elymaean silver coinage, offering sharp details and historical significance. Few coins provide such a direct link to this enigmatic kingdom, making it a standout piece for collectors of ancient Persian and Parthian history. - Specifications
