Abstract
Five coins of the Artaxiad dynasty of Armenia — all of them both unique and unpublished — are discussed in this article.
The coins in Plate I numbered 8, 9 and 10 are attributed to Tigranes II (the coin number 8 may be attributed to Tigranes IV as well). Coins in Plate II numbered 19 and 20 are attributed to Tigranes III. Coins numbered 18 and 19 are only two existing silver specimens so far attributed to Tigranes III. All five coins are attributed with reservation, because they do not have the conventionally accepted characteristic features of a particular monarch's coins. For example, in Plate I, coins numbered 9 and 10 possess most of the features characteristic of the coins of Tigranes II, except the legends which are usually represented in perpendicular columns are here given in two horizontal rows.
For additional information and comparison, several other coins are reproduced.
All the coins in Plate I belong to Tigranes II. In Plate II, coins numbered 11 and 12 belong to Tigranes I, and coins numbered 13 to 20 belong to Tigranes III.
The five coins that are discussed in the article belong to the author's collection of Armenian coins.
