| Reverse description | A male deity, identified as a seated figure — likely Apollo or a syncretic Hellenistic divinity — enthroned to the left, holding a Nike (Victory) in the outstretched right hand and a cornucopiae in the left. Greek legend surrounds the figure, with dynastic monograms positioned to the outer left field and in the exergue. The composition follows the Seleucid-influenced reverse type common to early Arsacid silver coinage. |
