| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central design features a fire altar or fire temple dedicated to Ahura-Mazda, depicted in elevation with crenellated turrets flanking the central structure, evoking the sacred Zoroastrian sanctuary. A standard or ensign appears to the right of the temple. A two-line Aramaic inscription occupies the left field and the exergue, identifying the issuing ruler and his title. The composition reflects the deeply religious and dynastic iconography characteristic of the frataraka rulers of Persis. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ardakhshir I ruled Persis as a vassal king under Seleucid overlordship following Alexander's conquest and the subsequent fragmentation of his empire. These small silver fractions were issued from a region that jealously maintained its own dynastic coinage tradition even as Seleucid currency dominated the broader Near East — a quiet assertion of local continuity under foreign suzerainty.
