| Reverse description | Archer deity — identified as Arsakes I — seated right upon an omphalos, depicted in the standard Parthian dynastic type. The figure holds a bow in the right hand and is shown in three-quarter view. A three-line Greek legend surrounds the field, reading ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΜΕΓΑΛΟY ΑΡΣΑΚΟY, translating as 'Of the Great King Arsakes'. The inscription reflects the Philhellenism of the early Arsacid rulers. |
