| Reverse description | A bearded Scythian horseman, identifiable by his distinctive ethnic costume including a pointed cap and loose-fitting garments, depicted in full gallop to the left. He is shown at full draw, twisting in the saddle to discharge an arrow from a recurved bow in the Parthian shot technique. The Greek inscription ΑΤΑΙΑΣ Θ ΚΑΛ appears in the field, identifying the issuing king Ateas and likely referencing a mint official or epithet. The dynamic composition reflects Scythian artistic conventions blended with Greek die-cutting craftsmanship. |
