Kings of Persis Cuff

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.

Each ancient coin and artefact we place into jewellery has been restored and professionally stabilised to preserve it for lifetimes of enjoyment. Patina, the natural toning and oxidation that occurs on silver, bronze and copper coins, is not dirt – it is a layer of what becomes protection for the coin formed over hundreds of years and is a valuable part of the coin’s unique history. Conservation efforts stabilise and preserve these precious patinas whenever possible.

Silver naturally tones over time to a soft to deepening grey, with brighter highlights on the raised surfaces of the design. This toning is highly coveted as it adds a touch of age and beauty to the coin’s details that only time can.
