| Reverse description | Archer figure — identified as Arsaces I, the dynastic founder — seated to the right on an omphalos or throne, holding a strung bow in his extended right hand. The archer is depicted wearing traditional Parthian dress with distinctive dotted ornamentation along the garment. The Greek legend ΑΡΣΑΚΟΥ (of Arsaces) is inscribed to the left of the central figure in clear Greek majuscules, asserting dynastic authority through the Arsacid dynastic name. The overall composition follows the standard early Parthian reverse type established for Sellwood type 6 issues. |
