| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed and mural-crowned bearded bust of King Nambed facing left, rendered in low relief in the local Persis tradition. A trefoil arrangement of three pellets appears in the left field, serving as a dynastic or mint symbol. The portrait displays the characteristic style of late Persis coinage, with summary but recognizable facial features and regalia indicative of royal authority. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The king depicted standing to the right in a votive or ritual posture, rendered in the schematic style typical of Persis hemidrachms. A star within a crescent symbol occupies the right field, a recurrent celestial motif on Persis dynastic coinage. The design is executed in shallow hammered relief on an irregularly shaped flan, consistent with local mint practice of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Persis, the ancient heartland of the Achaemenid empire in what is now Fars Province, maintained a remarkable degree of autonomy under its own dynastic rulers — the Frataraka and later kings — well into the Parthian period. The ruler Nambed is among the more obscure figures of this sequence, known almost exclusively through his coinage rather than any surviving textual record. The Sunrise 626 reference places this hemidrachm within a tightly clustered group, and the "cf." qualifier on the Alram citation signals a die or type variant not precisely matching the catalogued specimen.
