Parthian Empire, Pakoros Drachm

[Aziz]

Hello collectors , while i’m visiting my family i looked at my father mix&match of coins some good some bad i stumbled upon one coin that i know nothing about so i toke one day researching the coin and finally found an example , it was difficult cause the king on the coin is beardless so i thought a queen or goddess until finding this for sale.  https://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?param=85451q00.jpg&vpar=774&zpg=91453&fld=https://www.forumancientcoins.com/Coins2/

Now i don’t no anything about Parthian coins so this coin allows me to learn a lot by reading and searching, now to the coin i personally not in position to condemn or approve it originality, i will certainly need an expert opinion here i wish it's original so i can start my collecting journey with it , sorry for the bad photograph skills i hope it’s clear enough.

Cheers 

Aziz

This is unfortunately a cast fake. It would be interesting to know its precise weight, the weight of these fakes is often an additional clue.
Below is your coin and another identical copy of this fake, sold on ebay.

I was going to mention the casting seem running along the top and the fact that I bought a fake one of these a few years back myself. Sorry about the bum news.
