Need Your Help To Indentify This Gold Coin? - See Photo:

The design is early Sassanian Empire, apparently of Shapur II. Gold dinars and silver drachms had the same designs and were often struck from the same dies; the gold ones being much scarcer.

Howevr, I have two problems with this coin.

First, the details look, for want of a better word, "cartoonish" - the details are done in outline, especially the fire-altar and the crown, rather than the solid figures I'd expect to see on a Sassanian coin of this period. Compare it with this example on zeno.ru. That, plus the generally porous appearance, make me think that this is a cast fake.

Second, at 6.9 grams, it's quite a bit underweight for a gold dinar.

Sap thank you for the guidance. At least I have a direction for further research.
Echizento - thank you for the piece of mind as well.
I would surely hate for it to be a repro or else.... I recently purchased it and am waiting for it - I'll re weight it and measure, then post.

If by chance you do come across this particular design, please post...I'm set up to follow.

Looks fake. The lettering is way off. I agree with cartonish.
Looks cast from the fabric.

The wearing doesn't look real , plus it's suspiciously clean
