KINGS of PARTHIA. Sinatrukes. 93/2-70/69 BC. AR Drachm (20mm, 4.17 g, 12h). Rhagai mint. Diademed bust left, wearing tiara with horn and ear flap / Archer (Arsakes I) seated right on throne, holding bow. Sellwood (Gotarzes I) 33.3 var.; Shore 112 var. Good VF, spotty tone, minor green deposits, struck from a worn obverse die.
An interesting engraver’s error. The usual “APΣAKOV” of the reverse legend has been rendered “APΣAMOV”.
