| Reverse description | Nike, the goddess of victory, striding right while carrying a palm branch over her left shoulder and holding a semicircular talisman in her outstretched right hand. A four-line Greek inscription occupies both sides of the field, identifying the issuing king with his royal titles. The composition reflects the strong Hellenistic artistic influence prevalent in Parthian coinage of this period. |
