Hmmmm.....I know what your coin is and will be happy to help but maybe it's time for you to start to id your coins at least give it a go!? The date and mint are very clearly defined.....Here's a link that will help you. Then maybe return with your attribution to get it clarified?..... http://www.forumancientcoins.com/nu...nian%20Mints |

I am guessing Kushrow II but cannot find a matching mint mark. It looks sort of similar to "LAM" "HLM" and "AM" mints. And again with the regnal number I am completely lost. I cant find any numbers on the list that end in what looks like "C I I" on my coin.

This one looks like Hormizd IV as well based on the Beast Coins images

For the date on this one I am guessing 39, could also look like 19

No...But why?.....These 2 rulers are quite often confused. Hormizd IV ...The crescent under the top part of the crown is usually blended into the circular ring of dots.
Khusro I......The crescent under the top part of the crown breaks into the circular ring of dots.
Also look at the last symbol of the name...

Oh, I can see the difference now. Interesting how similar the crowns look.

Thanks again, your help is invaluable. And yeah I really like the style of Sassanian coins so will keep my eye out for more good deals. I only paid 35 dollars for this pair
