| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a dynastic fire altar at center, rendered with a stepped base and columned structure, with a fire or globe shown at its summit. A standing male figure, interpreted as the king or a priest, is shown to the left of the altar, facing right and raising one hand in a gesture of worship or offering. To the right of the altar, an Aramaic inscription appears in the field identifying the ruler. The composition reflects the strong Zoroastrian religious iconography characteristic of the Frataraka and early Persis coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Autophradates II ruled Persis as a client under Parthian overlordship following the Seleucid collapse in the region, yet the Persid dynasts maintained their own coinage and priestly titles — a quiet assertion of local continuity that the Arsacids apparently tolerated. His issues are among the more regularly encountered within the Persid series, though the hemidrachm denomination specifically circulated within a tight regional economy increasingly dominated by Parthian drachms.
