| Reverse description | Beardless archer, identified as the dynastic Arsacid hero, seated right upon a throne and attired in a bashlyk headdress and royal cloak, holding a bow in the right hand. The Greek letter Δ appears in the field behind the archer, and below the bow is a blundered seven-line Greek inscription rendered in a debased, largely illegible script typical of late Parthian coinage. Mint control marks appear behind the archer and vary by issue. |
