Obol - Autophradates I

Autophradates I ruled Persis as a subordinate dynast under Seleucid authority, issuing his own coinage in a tradition that blended Achaemenid iconographic memory with the political realities of post-Alexander fragmentation. The obol denomination placed these coins at the lowest practical end of silver currency — everyday commercial fractions rather than prestige pieces.

Haaff 537A is among the scarcer attributions in the Persis series, a dynasty whose fractional silver remains poorly represented in major collections.
