Identification Sasanian Coin [решено]

8 сообщений • просмотрено 208 раз
Hello,
I got this coin (2,61 g / 28 mm) from an auction and I would like to know if there is the chance to get to know the mint and the King.

I "restricted" the mint to AB, AW/AY, GD (being the last one the most likely according to what I see) and the king to Khusro II or Hormazd VI.
I am not really familiar with this coinage so I may be (and probably am) totally wrong so don't relay too much on what I wrote.
See picture attached.


Thank you very much for your help and have a nice day!

Yes, definitely Khusro II, and mint GD seems likely. Not sure about the regnal year - hopefully someone will be able to read that for you. Here are a couple of helpful sites for reading Sasanian coins:

​Hi Seeker55! Could it be the 23° year? What do you think?

Thanks,

Bruno
Yes it looks similar to 23 and could be that (I'm not 100% sure).

I agree this the identification but for me it looks more like "syh" than "wyst" at the end of the date, so regnal year 33 instead of 23 on this coin ;)
Oh, thanks for the tip Cycnos. I'll definitely look it up :)
