| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the city-goddess Tyche of Seleucia seated to the left on a throne, presenting a palm branch to a standing figure of Gotarzes II who faces her, rendered in Parthian royal dress. The king raises his right hand in a gesture of reception. A Greek legend encircles the scene in the outer field, arranged in multiple lines around the central composition. The date in Seleucid era numerals appears in the exergue or field. The overall composition follows the established Seleucian tetradrachm reverse type, with the royal investiture scene framed by the royal titulature. |
