| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse walking to the right occupies the central field, rendered in the spare, schematic style typical of Parthian bronze coinage of this period. The Greek control monogram ΑΡ appears above the animal's flank. Below and surrounding the horse, a four-line square Greek inscription fills the reverse field without a border, presenting the royal titulature of Mithradates II in the nominative and epithet form standard for Arsacid coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mithradates II ruled the Parthian Empire at its greatest territorial extent, pushing west into Mesopotamia and east toward India while simultaneously forcing Rome to acknowledge Parthia as an equal power — the two empires met formally on the Euphrates around 96 BC, a diplomatic event the Romans found deeply uncomfortable to record. His bronze coinage is unusually varied in fabric and type, reflecting the decentralized mint operations across a suddenly vast domain. Sellwood 24.33 sits among the earlier emissions of his reign, before the titulature on his silver settled into the grand "King of Kings" formula he eventually adopted.
