It wasn't in there. Sassanian Empire AE 1/6 unit? 15mm, 0.9g Bust of king R, wearing turreted crown; crescent before, globe above. Pahlavi before bust, ribbons behind Fire altars with attendants in fine style, looking away from flame, holding staff with hand on hip. Pahlavi to L and R but I can't read it. Based on the attendants, I would assume this to be an earlier coin, but the bust looks curiously like Khusro I or later. Shucks, I'm stumped Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 11/15/2017 8:01 pm I believe it is Khurso I AE 1/2 unit, yours is a little on the light side a .9 grams. I don't know of any smaller units made under Khurso I, at least none that have been recorded. There is no reference number that I have found. Gobl is OK for a reference, but a little difficult to follow. Report this Post to the Staff
