| Reverse description | Simplified depiction of an eagle or bird of prey displayed in the field, rendered in the highly schematic style characteristic of Parthian bronze small change. Below the central motif, a horizontal line or ground line is faintly visible. The overall design is typical of Sellwood type 65 chalkous issues, with minimal detail due to the small flan size and crude die engraving. The flan is irregular and shows uneven striking pressure. No inscription or legend is discernible. |
