| Reverse description | The enthroned archer type: Arsakes I, the dynastic founder, depicted seated in three-quarter view to the right upon a throne or omphalos, holding a strung bow in his extended right hand. The figure wears Parthian dress. The Greek dynastic legend surrounds the central type, reading BAΣIΛEΩΣ MEΓAΛoY APΣAKoY EΠIΦANoYΣ — 'of the Great King Arsakes Epiphanes' — arranged around the field in multiple lines and the periphery. The reverse is typical of the Ecbatana mint production for Mithridates II, combining Hellenistic epigraphic convention with Parthian iconographic tradition. |
