Silver Drachm from the Parthian Kingdom, 190 A.D.
This beautiful coin is a silver drachm dating back to 190 A.D. The coin was minted under the rule of Osroes II, a leader of the kingdom of Parthia.

Little is known about the Parthians, but they built an Eastern superpower that occupied much of the Middle East and southwest Asia. They were a kingdom of horse-warriors that defeated Alexander the Great's successors, the Seleucids.
