This is one of my favorite Parthian coins:



I just like the almost "modern art" styling on this coin.

Details:

Obverse: Bare-headed bust left with pointed beard; wearing diadem with loop at top; earring visible; border of dots
Reverse: Archer seated right on throne holding bow; blundered Greek legend
Mint: Ecbatana (undated)
Catalog: Sellwood Vologases III Type 78 - Size 20mm

The standard reference for Parthian coins is cheap. You could buy it and do your own.
