Lot 3878
Persis Kingdom. Autophradates (Vadfradad) III, c. 2nd century BC. Fourré Drachm (2.24). Draped and diademed bust right. Reverse: King sacrificing at fire altar containing Ahura Mazda, at right eagle-topped standard(?); inscription below. Cf. Alram 561; cf. BMC p. 213, 7. Flaking and chipping along the edge has exposed the copper core. Most interesting and rare. This the first fourré we have encountered for this series. The portrait compares well with official issues, while the legend on the reverse seems a bit blundered. Very Fine.
Estimated Value $200 - 250.
