Abstract
In this article an attempt has been made to attribute a unique bronze coin to Aataxias I, the founder of the Artaxiad dynasty.
To make things more comprehensible, a brief historical background and some numismatic data are discussed.
The coin belongs to the author’s rich collection of Artaxiad coins. Its weight is 4 grams, and its diameter 16 millimeters.
Obverse: King’s bust turned right, wearing Armenian tiara slightly bearded.
Reverse: A high conical mountain represented in dots, with a large eagle perched left on its summit. The Greek inscription on either side of the mountain reads: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ | ΜΕΓΑΛΟΥ || ΑΡΤΑΞΙΟΥ
