| Obverse description | Bust of Manchihr I facing left, depicted with a distinctive elaborate headdress ornamented with a crescent and pellet motif surmounted by a beaded diadem, the hair arranged in long curled locks falling behind the neck. The ruler wears a richly draped garment with detailed incised folds visible at the shoulder. A long, carefully rendered beard frames the face. The portrait is executed in the local Persis style, combining Parthian artistic conventions with indigenous Iranian elements. |
