| Reverse description | Archer seated right on throne or omphalos, depicted in the traditional Arsacid style, holding a bow in the right hand; the figure wears a diadem and is draped in robes with detailed linear folds. A mint control letter 'A' (denoting Ecbatana) appears in the central field below the bow. A palm or olive branch is visible to the right of the seated figure, a hallmark of Vonones I's triumphal coinage. The encircling Greek legend, reading around the full perimeter, commemorates Vonones's victory over Artabanos. |
