| Reverse description | The enthroned king, identified as Gotarzes II, is depicted seated to the right on a throne, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition of royal investiture imagery. Before him stands Tyche, the goddess of fortune, facing left, presenting a diadem to the king and holding a cornucopiae in her other hand, symbolizing royal legitimacy and divine favor. The scene conveys the Arsacid claim to both Greek cultural heritage and divine-appointed kingship. A multi-line Greek legend surrounds the composition in the field. |
