jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 06/05/2013 10:20 pm Hepthalite, AR Drachm probably Bukhara. ca early-mid 600's issued on Sassanian Standard. Definitely not Tabaristan. Need the obv to be sure, but going off this reverse looks to be one of the anonymous issues from the Islamic period pre-reform. So... still would be Mithra/Zeus with fire altar after the Sassanian prototypes. Report this Post to the Staff
Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 06/05/2013 10:33 pm JCM-Very good! You are right about the Location,issuer,and style. This coin is from the 8th century, and the God is not Mithra. It is another part of the triad. Report this Post to the Staff
jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 06/05/2013 10:43 pm Caliph al-Madhi, 770-785 now I can see the obv. and read the legend. So guessing Ahura Mazda if it isn't Mithra. Mithra would have sun rays coming out of his crown. Report this Post to the Staff
