| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche or a comparable deity depicted in a seated pose to the left, rendered in low relief in the Hellenistic artistic style typical of Parthian autonomous civic bronzes. Flanking the central figure are Greek legends distributed across the field, partially legible despite heavy surface corrosion and wear. The inscription references civic or regnal dating formulae consistent with Sellwood type 92.3 autonomous city issues. The overall composition reflects the Seleucid artistic heritage maintained in Parthian provincial coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Autonomous bronze issues from Parthian-controlled cities occupy an awkward place in the numismatic record — struck under nominal imperial authority but reflecting local civic identity, they circulated at the street level while royal silver and gold moved through official channels. By 24 BC, the Parthian empire under Phraates IV was navigating uneasy diplomacy with Augustus, and the return of Roman standards captured at Carrhae in 20 BC was already being negotiated. Sellwood 92.3 sits within a loose grouping whose attribution to specific cities remains contested among specialists.
