Parthian Empire Silver Drachm Pacorus (78-120 AD) CH XF NGC
During the ancient era of 78 to 120 AD, the Parthian Empire minted this silver drachm, which served as a vital medium of exchange. The coin features the distinct portraiture of Pacorus, a ruler depicted on the obverse. His profile faces left, showing him wearing a diadem and a medium, pointed beard, capturing the royal fashion and portrait styles of the period. On the reverse side, the design depicts a seated archer, identified as Arsakes I, positioned on a throne and facing to the right. The figure holds a bow, a classic motif of the empire's coinage, with a specific monogram placed just beneath the weapon. This particular specimen has been authenticated and graded as Choice Extra Fine, preserving these intricate details from nearly two millennia ago.
