| Reverse description | A beardless archer, identified as the royal Arsacid hero, is depicted seated right upon a throne, clad in a bashlyk headdress and a flowing cloak. He holds a bow in his right hand, with a Greek letter Β (beta) positioned beneath the bow in the lower field, serving as a control mark. Seven lines of Greek inscription occupy the reverse field, recording the full royal titulature. The composition follows the canonical Parthian reverse type derived from Seleucid coinage conventions, with no border. |
