Beschrijving keerzijde Diademed and radiate bust of the solar deity Mithra facing left, the rays of the radiate crown emanating distinctly from the head, with a necklace or torque at the base of the bust. A triskeles symbol occupies the right field, flanked by Aramaic inscriptions in the left and right fields typical of Persis dynastic coinage. The composition reflects the syncretic religious iconography characteristic of the late Persis kingdom.

Aanvullende informatie

Ardakhshir III ruled Persis as a vassal king under Parthian suzerainty, and the precise dating of his coinage remains contested — the 120–150 CE range reflects ongoing scholarly disagreement rather than firm archival evidence. Persis itself was unusual among Parthian client states in maintaining an unbroken native dynastic coinage stretching back to the Achaemenid period, a practice Parthia tolerated nowhere else at comparable scale.

The Alram and Sunrise references place this drachm within a recognized sequence, though die studies on the Persis series remain incomplete relative to the volume of known specimens.
