| Reverse description | A beardless archer, identified as the dynastic Arsacid hero, is depicted seated right upon an omphalos throne, wearing a bashlyk (pointed cap) and a draped cloak. The figure holds a strung bow in the right hand, with the empty left sleeve of the cloak hanging below the seat and terminating in a pellet, a distinctive feature of the Sellwood 27 type. No border surrounds the design. A five-line Greek legend occupies the field to the right and left of the enthroned figure. |
