| Reverse description | The dynastic ancestor figure of the deified Arsaces I seated right on an omphalos throne, depicted as a draped archer holding a strung bow in his extended right hand. The figure wears Parthian dress and is seated in a formal, frontal posture with legs angled to the right. The Greek legend ΑΡΣΑΚΟΥ appears vertically to the left of the seated figure, reading downward. The composition is set within a plain field with no exergue line, characteristic of early Parthian coinage from the Hecatompylos mint. |
