Coin image removed, as it appears to be Tigranes V. An image of a Tigranes IV can be found in links below. I.am.a.qwerty (talk) 07:48, 2 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, but why are those links supposed to be reliable? Not to mention rulers often used the same portrait on their coins, or at least something that resembled it. This is not convincing, restored the original revision. --HistoryofIran (talk) 13:33, 2 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
In Franc L. Kovacs's "Armenian Coinage in the Classical Period," he attributes those coins to Tigranes IV as on the reverse there is the roman numeral A (=year 1). There also exists of coinage of Tigranes IV with Augustus and Erato depicted on the back.
The current image used on this article is a coin that Kovacs attributes to Tigranes V.
