| Aanvullende informatie |
Autophradates II ruled Persis as a semi-independent dynast under Seleucid and later Parthian suzerainty, issuing his own coinage in a region that had maintained Persian religious and cultural traditions long after Alexander's conquest. The fratarakas — the dynastic title held by rulers of Persis — occupied an ambiguous political position, nominally subordinate yet striking silver in their own name, a quiet assertion of local authority that the Parthians eventually moved to curtail.
The obol denomination places this among the smallest and least frequently recovered of the Persis series. Sunrise 577 is documented but genuinely scarce in the market.
