| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the enthroned archer motif: the king or deity seated to the right, drawing a bow in the characteristic Parthian shooting posture. A tamgha (dynastic ownership symbol) appears to the left of the figure, while the Greek letter Π (pi) is prominently placed beneath the bow, serving as a mint or series control mark. Inscriptional Pahlavi legends are distributed around the field. The die work is bold but schematic, consistent with the provincial bronze coinage of the late Indo-Parthian series attributed to Sanabares II. |
