I believe your coin is Khusro II 590-628.

Here is an excellent reference that might help you pin it down to the exact type.

Thanks guys. I looked through the list but I'm having trouble. I found 3 different types that match up for all but one thing but neither one matches up completely. The Year 4 Mule matches up except for the little slash in the second quadrant on the obverse. The year 4 normal crown matches up for all except the pellet in quadrant 3 on the obverse. The year 3 Normal crown matches up except for the bust. Help?

Gobl notes in table XII that the Khusro II crowns get progressively flatter years 2-10 and you see a transition from normal crown 1 to normal crown 2, I would suspect since the piece on the front of the crown is elongated that it might be just one of those types that begins the the transition to the similar flatter style. Also notice how the crescent on the top of your crown stands tall above the rest of the head dress. This very well could be normal crown 2. I like it nice coin.

I think is Xusro II (591 - 628) 23 on the Sasaian family tree from Sasan.
that's on plate 13-212 or 213 in Gobl reference book

Without having the coin in hand to study, my best guess would be bust type BySh 25, mint AM year 4.
