With regards to the silver coins, see citation 3 (Price, M. J.; Recent Acquisitions of Greek Coins by the British Museum; Archaeological Reports, No. 20. (1973 - 1974), p. 70.). The relevant passage is:
"This unpublished piece is the first silver coin issue of the Nabathaen kings, for whom otherwise only drachmas and bronze coins are known; and it was struck almost certainly on Aretas' capture of Damascus in 85 BC. [...] For Aretas' bronze issues at this city see E.T. Newell, Late Seleucid Mints at Ake-Prolemais and Damascus, pp. 92-4.
