| Obverse description | Diademed and bearded bust of Pakor II facing left, rendered in the Parthian artistic tradition with finely detailed curled beard and draped shoulders. The king wears a distinctive crested or tiered diadem. An anchor symbol appears to the left of the effigy in the field, serving as a dynastic or mint mark. The portrait is bold and in high relief, characteristic of Persis hemidrachms of this period. |

| Reverse description | Diademed and bearded bust of a king facing left, rendered in a style closely resembling the obverse portrait, with a curled beard rendered in layered relief and draped bust visible below. The figure wears a tiered diadem consistent with Persid royal iconography. An Aramaic inscription appears in the field, likely identifying the ruler or providing a dynastic title. The flan is irregular and the strike is typical of hand-hammered provincial silver coinage of the early Common Era. |
