Is this in fact a Sasanian Drachm or is it a Tabaristan Drachm struck years after the Sasanaian empire dissolved? Thanks! Edited by Archraz 07/27/2016 6:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/27/2016 7:55 pm It is Tabaristan. I believe it's a half drachm of the Abbasid Governors of Tabaristan. This one is Saiid ibn Da'ala 776-779 AD. Very nice example. Report this Post to the Staff
