edris-afsordeh New Member Iran, Islamic Republic Of 1 Posts	Posted 02/06/2015 05:19 am Hi everyone, Please check out the photos: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/...purICoin.jpg I know on the reverse of coin writes: "The fire of Ardashir". But I wonder what is the legend of obverse? * Staff Edit - your links that were not coin related are not wanted and have been removed. Your links do not work and have been removed.

But in general the obverse inscription on early Sassanid coinage reads something like "The Mazda worshipper, the divine ***, the king of kings of Iran who is descended from the Gods". As for the coin you linked from Wikimedia, that has a degraded (aka not making sense) inscription. Report this Post to the Staff
