echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 08/31/2016 10:19 pm The coins of Kavad, Hormizd IV, Khusro I and II are plentiful and still fairly cheap so if a person would want to build a mint set of them it wouldn't break the bank. I'm starting on that path and little by little picking up a coin here and there. This is an AR Drachm of Hormizd IV 579-590 AD Dated year 4 (582/83 AD) The mint mark on this one is WYHC, was is Veh-az-Amid-Kavad in Iraq. 31mm x 4.1g x 4h Report this Post to the Staff

Those Sassanians really did collectors a solid by taking such good care of their coinage. Great example Ron!
