Drachm - Uncertain king I

The Persis kingdom persisted as a semi-autonomous dynastic enclave within the Parthian sphere long after the Seleucid collapse, and its local rulers — many of whom remain unidentified by name — issued coinages that deliberately echoed Achaemenid religious and royal traditions centuries after that empire's fall. The attribution "Uncertain king I" reflects genuine scholarly disagreement, not a cataloging gap; Alram's work remains the primary framework for sequencing these rulers, but the absence of contemporary written records means the sequence rests almost entirely on die linkage and hoard evidence.
