| Reverse description | Vologases III enthroned to the left, receiving a wreath from Tyche, the personification of Fortune, who stands to the right extending the wreath toward the seated king. The composition follows the established Parthian royal investiture type, depicting the transfer of divine legitimacy. The Greek legend surrounds the central scene with the full royal titulature of Arsakos Olagasos. The date ΓΛΥ, corresponding to year 433 of the Seleucid era (121 AD), and the month ΠΕΡΙΤΕΙΟΥ (Periteios, approximately January) appear in the field, providing precise dating information characteristic of Seleucid-era dating conventions retained on Parthian coinage. |
