Lot 2042

AR Drachm (3.53 g) - Bust of bearded king right, known from only two Drachms and very different from Vādfradād II, Darayan I and the other 2 Unkown Kings I-X and I-Y. The beard is pointed without the dotted hair curls. There is a large ear without a ring. The helmet has no neck-cover and no crescent on top, only two minor protuberances that could be remnants of the eagle. The reverse shows no legend. The Fire Temple is similar to the one on Darayan I Drachms. The battlements are curved and not stepped. The silver seems to be debased.
