JohnConduitt Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 725 Posts	Posted 08/09/2021 1:09 pm I'm definitely not an expert, but going by the crown and name (written sideways on the right of the obverse) it looks like Khusro II. The coin looks a bit strange, maybe clipped. It's quite light. It could even be an Umayyad drachm (which copied Khrusro II). I can't work out the mint. This is an ID guide, but it's still not easy: https://en.numista.com/numisdoc/ide...ins-186.html Here are the mints (written sideways on the right of the reverse): https://www.forumancientcoins.com/n...nian%20Mints Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 08/09/2021 8:12 pm I think the mint may be ST (Istakhr). The clipping is likely to a later Islamic dirham standard. Here is an unclipped example from the British Museum collection: https://www.britishmuseum.org/colle...1981-0109-26 Report this Post to the Staff
