| Reverse description | The archer-king Arsaces I depicted seated right upon a throne, holding a strung bow in his right hand, in the established Parthian dynastic type. A Greek inscription surrounds the central design within a beaded border, and a monogram appears in the field below the bow. The reverse is framed by a distinctive double or triple row of pellets forming a square border within the outer circular beaded border, typical of late issues of Phraates III. |
