| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bearded male bust facing left, wearing an elaborate tiara or mural crown adorned with a row of pellets and a crescent-like element at the top. The subject displays a prominent beard rendered in fine parallel lines, and wears a necklace or torque visible at the base of the bust. The portrait is executed in the distinctive Persis dynastic style, combining Hellenistic conventions with local Iranian artistic traditions. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Persis kingdom occupied the heartland of old Achaemenid Persia and its rulers styled themselves as heirs to that tradition long after Alexander's conquest had nominally ended it. These late Persis issues — roughly second century AD — were struck under rulers whose exact sequence and identities remain contested; the designation "Unknown King III" reflects a genuine gap in the dynastic record rather than catalog convention. Alram's work remains the primary framework for ordering these enigmatic pieces, though attribution continues to shift as new finds surface from Iranian hoards.
