| Reverse description | The Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, depicted as two horsemen galloping in unison to the right, each rider shown wearing a conical pileus cap and rendered in dynamic motion. A partial Greek legend is visible in the upper field above the mounted figures. The composition reflects strong Hellenistic iconographic influence characteristic of early Parthian bronze coinage. |
