| Reverse description | The enthroned king is depicted seated right on a throne or stool, extending his hand to receive a palm branch offered by Tyche, the goddess of fortune, who stands facing left and holds a long sceptre in her opposite hand. The composition follows a well-established Parthian royal iconographic formula, presenting the king as divinely legitimized ruler. The scene is set within a dotted border, with Greek legends in the field and exergue identifying the ruler and mint authority. |
