| Reverse description | The Arsacid dynastic archer is depicted seated right upon an omphalos throne, holding a bow in his outstretched right hand in the traditional Parthian manner. A Greek legend surrounds the central type on multiple lines, reading the royal titulature of Phraates III. A monogram appears in the field below the bow, serving as a mint or magistrate mark. The composition is enclosed by a beaded border, with the legend distributed across the upper and lower fields and along the sides in characteristic Parthian drachm style. |
