| Reverse description | A horse's head in profile facing left, rendered in a bold and simplified style characteristic of Parthian bronze fractional coinage. The design occupies most of the reverse field, with the animal's neck and flowing mane visible below. The image is executed in low relief on an irregular flan, consistent with hammered production at provincial mints. The reverse carries no visible legend on this denomination, with the Greek titulature reserved for higher denominations. |
