Brief Biography
Since the death of Mithridates II, The Parthian Empire had fallen into a state of turmoil and decline. Sanatruces took advantage of the chaotic situation in the empire, and with the aid of the Saka captured the Parthian throne in c. 75 BC, at the age of eighty.
During his reign, the king of Armenia, Tigranes the Great, took advantage of the weakness of the Parthians, and occupied a large portion of the western domains including Media Atropatene, Gordyene, Adiabene, Osroene, and northern Mesopotamia.
Sanatruces died in 69 BC and was succeeded by his son Phraates III.

Likely Accuracy of the Creative Recreation
Weak Guess:
Due to the uncertainty of the level of realism in depicting the king on the coins, explained above and the lack of frontal views this creative reconstruction could be considered a weak guess.
