| Reverse description | The seated archer type: Arsaces I or a deified royal figure enthroned to the right upon an omphalos throne, depicted in a stiff, frontal posture with the head turned right. The figure holds a strung bow in the right hand, the emblem of Parthian royal authority. The circumferential Greek legend surrounds the central design on all sides, with a monogram appearing below the bow in the lower field. The style reflects the Hellenistic epigraphic tradition maintained by the Arsacid dynasty. |
