Beschrijving keerzijde	A triskeles motif occupies the central field, consisting of three curved, interlocking legs or spiral arms radiating from a central point, rendered in a flowing, dynamic style. The design is boldly struck with broad, sweeping curves filling the flan. This ancient symbol, frequently employed on Persis dynastic coinage, is presented without additional border or legend, consistent with the broader series attributed to Pakor I.

Aanvullende informatie	The attribution of this piece sits in a genuine scholarly dispute. Alram catalogues it under Pakor II while Sunrise assigns it to Pakor I — a disagreement rooted in the difficulty of establishing a reliable dynastic sequence for the Persis rulers, whose chronology remains contested. Persis functioned as a semi-autonomous client kingdom under Parthian overlordship, and its coins circulated in a region that produced some of the most administratively obscure numismatic output of the ancient Iranian world. The Sunrise 607 reference places this issue in the first half of the first century AD.
