| Obverse description | Bearded and diademed bust of Pakor II facing left, depicted in the Parthian-influenced style typical of Persis dynastic coinage. The effigy displays a tiara or diadem binding elaborately curled hair, with a full beard rendered in stylized strands. The bust is draped, with the garment folds visible at the shoulder. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-struck silver coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Diademed and bearded bust of a ruler facing right, rendered in the characteristic Persis dynastic style with Parthian artistic influence. The effigy shows a bound diadem securing the hair, with a full curled beard and draped shoulder visible. The portrait is boldly struck in high relief against a plain, unadorned field. The irregular flan edges and hammered fabric are consistent with silver hemidrachms of the Kingdom of Persis from the early first century CE. |
