Reverse description Arsakes I, the dynastic founder, enthroned in three-quarter view to the right, seated upon an omphalos throne. He holds a strung bow in his right hand, the bow extending toward his knee, serving as the emblematic symbol of Arsacid dynastic authority. A monogram appears in the field below the bow. The surrounding Greek legend, arranged in two concentric arcs, records the full royal titulature of the issuing king.
