| Reverse description | Seated archer in the Parthian tradition positioned to the right on a throne or stool, depicted in a schematic linear style characteristic of late Parthian coinage. The figure holds a bow in the outstretched right hand. The reverse field is heavily inscribed with a bilingual legend in Aramaic and Greek running around the periphery within a beaded border. The overall execution is notably debased, reflecting the declining quality of Parthian silver coinage in the final years of the empire. |
