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)

You could look in the catalogue data for my coins?

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