| Obverse description | Bearded male effigy in left-facing profile, identified as the Persid ruler Napad I, wearing an elaborate stepped or tiered helmet-crown surmounted by a crescent and globe device. The portrait displays a prominent beard rendered with fine linear strokes, and the draped bust is shown with a torque or necklace at the neck. The style reflects the local Persid engraving tradition, blending Hellenistic portraiture conventions with distinctly Iranian regal iconography. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-hammered production. |
