Parthian coins often featured inscriptions and images, including the king's bust facing left on the obverse with a long beard, wearing a diadem and a torque. The reverse might show a seated archer with a bow, wearing striped clothing under a cloak, and a Greek inscription surrounding the figure. These coins were struck by Parthian kings and exhibited some stylization in their design.
