Obverse description	Diademed bust of Pakor I facing left, the diadem tied with a prominent knot visible behind the head. The hair is rendered in schematic beaded rows falling to the neck, and the facial features are modelled in a bold, somewhat stylized manner characteristic of late Persis coinage. A collar or torque is visible at the base of the neck. The flan is irregular and the field is plain, consistent with the small hammered obol denomination.

Reverse description	A clockwise triskeles occupies the central field, its three curved legs radiating from a central boss in a dynamic rotational composition. The motif is rendered in a bold, schematic style typical of the degenerate phase of Persis coinage. Vestiges of a degenerate Aramaic legend are present around the triskeles, though the inscription is largely illegible due to the progressive stylization of the die-engraving tradition. The flan edges are irregular, as is characteristic of this small hammered denomination.
