mohammadaak Valued Member United Arab Emirates 79 Posts	Posted 09/24/2020 10:50 am Hello all, any help on identifying these pieces would be greatly appreciated. I have around 20 Sasanian drachms that I would upload in batches. I'm more into later Arab imitations of Sasanian drachms and am very clueless with these purely sasanian pieces in terms of ruler's name and mints/dates. Only one I was able to tell is that the first one is of YZ (Yazd) mint, but even that I'm not certain of. 1- 2- 3- 4- 5- 6- Report this Post to the Staff

mohammadaak Valued Member United Arab Emirates 79 Posts	Posted 09/24/2020 12:25 pm Thank you. many letters do seem exactly the same how can you tell the differences? For instance, d, g, b, i, y can all look exactly the same. Report this Post to the Staff

mohammadaak Valued Member United Arab Emirates 79 Posts	Posted 09/25/2020 02:50 am Many thanks! For coin number 4, is the mint not WYHC? It has that small loop at the end which I believe is the letter J or C, but probably C in this case. Will keep that in mind and post less coins in every post. Report this Post to the Staff
