背面描述	A fire altar depicted frontally at center, with stepped base and a stylized flame issuing from the altar top, flanked on either side by a standing attendant figure bearing a long staff or spear, both facing inward toward the altar. The composition is rendered in a schematic, linear style typical of early Persis coinage. The reverse field is plain, with no surrounding border or inscription on this type.

附加信息	Persis was not a successor state in any conventional sense — it survived as a semi-autonomous region under Seleucid overlordship by presenting itself as the custodian of Achaemenid religious tradition, which is precisely why its coinage is so historically loaded. Darayan I, the name itself a Middle Persian rendering of Darius, was among the early frataraka rulers who leveraged that Achaemenid nostalgia into genuine regional authority during the fracturing of Seleucid power in the second century. The Haerinck and Overlaet excavations at Persepolis and surrounding sites have confirmed sustained priestly-dynastic activity through this period, lending physical archaeological weight to what the coins already suggested.
