| Obverse description | Bearded effigy of Pakor I facing left, wearing a tiara; behind the royal bust, an eagle stands left, extending its wings and proffering a diadem held in its beak toward the king's head in an act of divine investiture. The portrait is rendered in the schematic, linear style characteristic of late Persis dynastic coinage. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend. |
