History

The principality of Persis emerged in the 8th century B.C. as a satrapy of Elam. Featured here is a crowned bust of the king. Coins of Persis were minted in small quantities for local use only, enhancing their rarity and value.

Persis was situated in southeastern Iran along the Persian Gulf. The kings of Persis maintained a degree of autonomy under Parthian rule, primarily due to their role as guardians of Zoroastrianism. The last king of Persis, Ardeshir V, successfully revolted against the Parthians and became the first Sasanian king. The Sasanian Empire succeeded the Parthian Empire and later endured for over four centuries, making it the longest-lived Persian imperial dynasty.

The coin's design was influenced by Parthian coinage, particularly in the depiction of the ruler's attire and headgear.

Care

Each ancient coin and artefact used in our jewellery has been restored and professionally stabilised to ensure it can be enjoyed for lifetimes. Patina, the natural toning and oxidation on silver, bronze, and copper coins, is not dirt; it is a protective layer formed over hundreds of years, adding to the coin’s unique history. Conservation efforts aim to stabilise and preserve these valuable patinas whenever possible. Silver naturally tones over time, developing a soft to deep grey with brighter highlights on raised surfaces. This toning is highly coveted, adding a touch of age and beauty to the coin’s details that only time can provide.
