介绍（中）	钱币学家——研究硬币的学者——将硬币的"正面"称为"正面"，"背面"通常以人或神的头像为特征在这枚小银币的正面，国王的半身像面朝左侧。他留着卷曲的长胡子，留着长发，有一个大鼻子，戴着一顶圆顶帽（称为"头饰"），上面系着一顶王冠（古希腊获胜运动员戴的头带）。他还在脖子上戴着一条项链或一个扭矩。相反的类型几乎无法辨别这枚硬币是波斯国王帕科尔一世在公元一世纪的某个时候铸造的。波斯指的是伊朗西南部的一个地区，那里是阿契美尼德帝国的中心地带。在塞琉古王朝和帕提亚王朝的统治下，波斯由巴科尔等客户国王统治，他们在硬币上结合了阿契美尼德、塞琉古和帕提亚的图像元素。例如，帕科尔佩戴的王冠是塞琉古国王图像上的常见特征这枚硬币是在设拉子附近的Qasr-i Abu Nasr发掘的。该遗址的大部分材料可以追溯到萨珊王朝时期（公元224-651年）；这枚硬币是为数不多的表明它在帕提亚时期也被占领的物品之一。
介绍（英）	Numismatists – the scholars who study coins – refer to the ‘front’ side of the coin, which usually features the head of a person or god, as the ‘obverse,’ and the ‘back’ side as the ‘reverse.’ On the obverse of this small silver coin, a bust of the king faces to the left. He has a long, curly beard, long hair and a large nose, and wears a domed hat (called a ‘tiara’) with a diadem (the headband worn by victorious athletes in ancient Greece) tied over it. He also wears a necklace or torque around his neck. The reverse type is all but impossible to discern. This coin was minted by King Pakor I of Persis, sometime in the first century A.D. Persis refers to a region in southwestern Iran which was the heartland of the Achaemenid Empire. Under the Seleucids and Parthians, Persis was ruled by client kings like Pakor, who combined elements of Achaemenid, Seleucid and Parthian iconography on their coins. The diadem worn by Pakor, for example, is a common feature on images of Seleucid kings. This coin was excavated at Qasr-i Abu Nasr, near Shiraz. Much of the material from the site dates to the Sasanian period (A.D. 224-651); this coin is one the few objects suggesting it was occupied in the Parthian period as well.
