| Reverse description | The archer-king Arsakes I seated right on an omphalos throne, depicted in the traditional Parthian manner holding a bow in his right hand. A Greek multi-line legend surrounds the central device, reading in part from the reverse field and border. The composition follows the standard Seleucid-derived reverse type employed throughout the Arsacid dynasty for their tetradrachms struck at Seleucia on the Tigris, with the monogram of the mint visible in the right field. The design is executed in a bold, somewhat coarse style characteristic of the late Parthian hammered issues. |
