| Obverse description | The Persian king or royal hero depicted in right-facing profile, shown in a dynamic kneeling-running stance within a recessed rectangular punch. The figure is attired in royal Median dress and wears a crown, holding a bow at full draw with an arrow nocked, a quiver visible at his back. The design is rendered in a bold, stylized manner characteristic of Achaemenid royal iconography, with the figure occupying the full height of the incuse rectangle. The surrounding field of the flan is plain and slightly irregular, consistent with the hand-struck technique of the period. |
