| Reverse description | The idealized effigy of Arsakes I, the dynastic founder and heroic archer, is depicted seated to the right upon an omphalos throne, his body upright and robed. He holds a strung bow horizontally in his right hand, a hallmark device of Arsacid coinage symbolizing royal and martial authority. A monogram appears below the bow in the lower field. The surrounding Greek legend is arranged in seven lines forming a square frame around the central figure, recording the royal titulature of Orodes II. |
