| Reverse description | The enthroned archer type derived from the Arsacid dynastic prototype: Arsakes I seated in three-quarter view to the right upon an omphalos throne, holding a strung bow in his right hand. A monogram appears in the field below the bow. The surrounding legend is present in a debased and partially illegible form, reflecting the degraded engraving standards of coinage struck during the brief reign of Meherdates. The reverse composition follows the canonical Parthian drachm reverse established under earlier Arsacid rulers. |
