| 裏面の説明 | Arsaces I enthroned in three-quarter view to the right, seated on an omphalos throne, holding a strung bow in his right hand — a symbol of Parthian royal and military authority. The figure wears a tunic and trousers in the Iranian nomadic tradition. The Greek legend ΑΡΣΑΚΟΥ (of Arsaces) appears in the field, accompanied by the Aramaic monogram ΜΤ denoting the mint of Mithradatkart; the inscription may read from inside or outside depending on the die variety. |

Arsaces I founded the Parthian kingdom around 247 BC after leading the Parni tribe in revolt against the Seleucid satrap Andragoras, and these early drachms were struck at Mithradatkart — a mint city whose precise location remains disputed among scholars, variously placed in Astarabad or the Nisa region of modern Turkmenistan. The Sellwood 3 type sits at the very origin of Parthian coinage, making attributions genuinely difficult; die links between Sellwood 1 through 4 suggest a small, centralized operation producing relatively few coins for a newly established polity still consolidating territory.
Surviving examples are rare by any measure.
