背面描述	A fast quadriga driven to the right by Nike, who holds a kentron and reins as she urges the four horses forward in full gallop. A warrior figure stands at her left within the chariot. Beneath the horses' hooves, three pellets are arranged in a row in the exergue. The dynamic composition is executed in the tradition of Macedonian royal and satrapal gold coinage, with fine detail in the horses' musculature and the figures' drapery.

附加信息	Andragoras was the Seleucid-appointed satrap of Parthia who, sometime around 245 BC, declared independence from the weakening Seleucid Empire during the turmoil following the death of Antiochus II. His autonomous coinage — this stater among it — had an extraordinarily short window of issue. By around 238 BC, the Parni tribe under Arsaces I invaded and killed Andragoras, ending his rule entirely and founding the Arsacid dynasty that would become the Parthian Empire. Survivors of his coinage are rare precisely because that window collapsed violently.
