| Reverse description | Mithridates I enthroned to the right upon an omphalos, attired in the traditional Parthian court dress comprising the khandis (royal robe) and bashlik (peaked cap). The king holds a strung bow in his extended right hand, a symbol of Arsacid royal authority. The exergue features a materialized ground line. A three-line Greek legend occupies the reverse field, identifying the ruler by his royal title. |
