| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bearded effigy of Artaxerxes I (Ardakhshir I) facing right, rendered in profile with a prominent moustache and a penannular earring visible at the ear. The king is adorned with a diadem encircling his head and wears the characteristic satrapal or royal kyrbasia headdress. The portrait is executed in the Achaemenid-derived artistic tradition of Persis, with fine engraving conveying regal authority. The field surrounding the portrait is plain, consistent with the hammered coinage of the Frataraka rulers of Persis. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ardakhshir I ruled Persis as a semi-autonomous dynast under Seleucid overlordship, one of several local Iranian rulers who maintained traditional Achaemenid cultural forms long after Alexander's conquest had nominally ended them. The Persid dynasts issued their own coinage — a quiet assertion of continuity that the Seleucids periodically tolerated and periodically resented.
Alram 520 and Sunrise 562 place this issue firmly within the established typological sequence, though die studies of Persid tetradrachms remain an active area of scholarship given how few hoards have been systematically published.
