Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 08/27/2013 1:21 pm Is this a Sasanian drachm of Khusru II ? It's about 31mm in diameter and 4.09g in EF or better. There's a bit of weakness in the strike or a bit of wear. Where is the mint name, what is it, and how should I read it ? Where is the year or date, what is it, and how should I read it ? Approx retail value, too, please ? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Pertinax 08/27/2013 1:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 08/29/2013 10:29 am Yes you are correct it is a Dirham (drachm) of Khusru II. Judging by the the dots at the collar and the crown type. I am not sitting in front of my Gobl right now but I recognize the type very well. I should be able to give you the mint and regnal year once I am back home. Approximate value of this coin is about $50 or so. He is the MOST common ruler of all. Report this Post to the Staff
