| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bearded right-facing portrait of Autophradates I rendered in the Achaemenid-derived tradition, depicting the ruler with a prominent moustache and a pendant earring. The head is adorned with a diadem and the distinctive Median/Persian soft cap known as the kyrbasia, reflecting both royal and priestly authority. The portrait is rendered in high relief typical of Persis dynastic coinage, with careful attention to facial detail. No legend appears on the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Autophradates I ruled Persis as a semi-autonomous kingdom under Seleucid suzerainty, though the exact nature of that subordination remains debated. His reign coincided with the rapid fragmentation of Seleucid power in the east following Antiochus IV's death, which likely created the administrative vacuum that allowed Persis to issue its own coinage at all. The tetradrachm series attributed to him is sparse — Alram 542 is known from only a handful of specimens — making any surviving example genuinely uncommon rather than merely cataloged as such.
