| Reverse description | The idealized figure of Arsakes I, the dynastic founder and divine ancestor of the Parthian royal line, is depicted seated right upon an omphalos throne, holding a strung bow in his right hand — the emblematic reverse type of Parthian coinage. The Aramaic or Parthian mint control mark ИI (Nisa) appears below the bow. An additional symbol is placed behind the throne in the field. The composition follows the long-established Arsacid reverse convention, emphasizing dynastic continuity and legitimacy. |
