| Reverse description | Seated figure of an archer, identified as the Arsaces founder-type, enthroned to the right on an omphalos or throne, holding a bow in the extended right hand. A Greek legend partially visible in the surrounding field identifies the king, consistent with the standard Arsacid reverse formula. The composition follows the established Parthian numismatic type derived from Hellenistic prototypes, with the archer symbolizing the martial and dynastic legitimacy of the Arsacid line. The surface shows typical wear for hammered silver coinage of this period and denomination. |
