Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 11:41 pm Nuggethill, I believe you are correct: Hormazd IV. I would guess the mintmark may be AHM (Hamadan), but I'm probably wrong. I'm sure one of our Sasanian experts - Kushanshan, echizento, Finn, etc. - will be along to assist.
