| Obverse description | Bearded bust of Pakor I facing three-quarters to the right, wearing a distinctive satrapal helmet adorned with a diadem and crest. The ruler's prominent beard and strong facial features are rendered in the characteristic Persis dynastic style. A sceptre or staff is visible to the left of the bust, and the right hand appears raised before the chest. The flan is irregularly shaped, as is typical of hammered issues from this series. |

| Reverse description | A triskeles motif composed of three interlocked legs radiating from a central boss, oriented to the left, occupying the central field. This Hellenistic-derived symbol, adopted by the Persis dynasts, is rendered in low but bold relief. Aramaic inscription appears in the lower portion of the field, identifying the ruler. The flan is irregular with a slightly uneven surface consistent with hand-struck coinage of the period. |
