Reverse description The enthroned archer is depicted facing right, seated on an omphalos throne, holding a bow in the outstretched right hand in the canonical Parthian royal posture. A six-line Greek legend is arranged around the central figure within a square dotted border, identifying the royal titulature of the issuing monarch. The field shows typical die wear consistent with hammered silver coinage of the late Parthian series. The overall composition conforms closely to the standard Sellwood type 30 reverse design attributed to the Rhagae mint.
