| Reverse description | A stylized eagle or bird motif occupies the center of the reverse field, rendered in a summary, heavily worn style consistent with small Parthian bronze issues. The design is set within a plain circular border, with the striking surface showing the irregular flan typical of hammered coinage of this period. The reverse is largely devoid of inscriptional elements, in keeping with the Sellwood 63.28 variety attribution for this minor denomination of Artabanus II. |
