| Reverse description | Arsakes I, the legendary founder of the Parthian dynasty, depicted seated to the right on an omphalos, holding a strung bow in his right hand. A palm branch rises to the outer right of the field, symbolising victory. The Greek dynastic legend surrounds the central type, and the letters TY appear in the exergue, likely denoting a mint or date control mark. The composition follows the established Arsacid reverse type, presenting the dynastic founder as a legitimising emblem of royal authority. |
