Pakor I ruled Persis as a client kingdom under Parthian suzerainty, and these small silver fractions represent one of the few coinages issued by rulers who maintained a degree of local autonomy within the Arsacid imperial structure. Persis itself was the ancestral homeland of the Achaemenids, and its dynasts appear to have traded on that heritage deliberately — a pointed political gesture in a region with long memory.
Alram 596 places this type firmly within the first half of the first century AD, a period when Parthian control over its eastern vassals was periodically contested by succession disputes at Ctesiphon.
