| Obverse description | Diademed and bearded bust of Manuchtir I facing left, wearing a Parthian-style tiara ornamented with a pellet-in-crescent motif. The portrait is rendered in the local Persis tradition, with flowing hair visible beneath the headdress and drapery indicated at the truncation. The effigy is boldly struck in high relief against an irregular flan typical of hammered coinage of the region. |

| Reverse description | Diademed and bearded bust of the king facing left, rendered in a schematic style characteristic of late Persis dynastic coinage. The portrait displays the ruler's flowing beard and diadem ribbons trailing behind the head. The field surrounding the bust is largely plain, consistent with the austere reverse designs of the Persis drachm series. |
