| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bearded male head in right profile, identified as an unnamed Persis ruler, wearing a diadem and a kyrbasia (pointed satrapal headdress) surmounted by an eagle with spread wings. The portrait is rendered in a blended Achaemenid-Hellenistic style characteristic of the Frataraka and early Persis dynastic coinage. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend or inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Persid kings — local dynasts ruling the region of Fars under Seleucid and later Parthian suzerainty — are among the most poorly documented rulers in ancient numismatics. Many issued coinage but left no textual record, forcing scholars to reconstruct dynastic sequences entirely from die studies and hoard evidence. "Unknown King I" is a catalog designation, not a recoverable name; the actual ruler may never be identified.
Haatvedt and Alram's work on the series has refined attribution considerably, but the second century BC bracket for this type remains approximate, anchored primarily by hoard associations rather than historical synchronism.
