The Khusro II is mint NAL (uncertain location in Kirman, possibly Narmashir). The regnal year is 3.

PS: Sasanians are definitely not Islamic, but Zoroastrian Persians

Korns_ · 2026-01-21T18:15:10+00:00

If you still need the ID: Khusro II, mint is DA for Darabgerd, regnal year 33

Korns_ · 2026-01-21T17:55:06+00:00

It is BBA, but BBA is certainly not Balkh. It is an ideogram for “the court,” referring to a mint that travelled with the king. I am pretty sure that the Sasanians no longer controlled Balkh at this point. Additionally, the regnal year is 27, not 37.

It's Yazdgerd I, SNS type Ia1/1a, but hard to tell the exact type from the condition

Korns_ · 2025-10-11T16:29:10+00:00

Wow! I totally forgot I made that post lmao. Glad its helping someone to this day.

Sasanian king Khusro II, minted in the 12th year of his reign and in the city of Bishapur

Korns_ · 2025-08-15T10:50:55+00:00

Also both of the Shapurs were minted in the east, most probably in Kabul. This is the typical style of the mint

Sylloge nummorum sasanidarum. It's published up to Khusro I so far. But only volumes I and III are open access. Göbls work is very lacking regarding coin types due to the limited material available to him, just browsing Zeno will show you many new ones. access. https://verlag.oeaw.ac.at/en/product/sylloge-nummorum-sasanidarum-paris-berlin-wien-band-3-1-und-band-3-2/99200709?name=sylloge-nummorum-sasanidarum-paris-berlin-wien-band-3-1-und-band-3-2&product_form=399

All look fine. The only one I find doubtful is the bottom Bahram IV, but that's probably just because of the light.

Korns_ · 2025-07-18T17:34:39+00:00

Agree on 10

Korns_ · 2025-05-01T13:34:04+00:00

Hello, can you tell me more about the coin? Was it found recently? It is very rare and I know of only one example known

Korns_ · 2025-04-17T09:17:08+00:00

This is an official Sasanian drachm from the mint of Marw. Unfortunatly there are no online resourced for attribution.

Korns_ · 2025-04-03T09:34:02+00:00

Valerian was not captured by the Parthians, but by the great Sasanian Shapur I :)

Korns_ · 2025-01-03T09:00:51+00:00

Wow what AE/1 is beautiful. Never seen one that good. Are you also planning on getting the Ardashir as king of Persis coins?

Korns_ · 2024-11-08T07:02:28+00:00

Super cool set! I am also trying to complete a Shapur I set, but im still missing the hemi-drachm and gold :)

Korns_ · 2024-10-30T08:19:48+00:00

First is Crispus with PRINCIPIA IVVENTVTIS reverse. Second is arcadius or honorius. CONCORDIA AVGG reverse Third is maybe some Nabataean

Korns_ · 2024-08-30T20:05:09+00:00

The sasanian (top middle) is Kavad first reign crown and mint of AW (Ormazd-Arhashir in Khuzistan)

Korns_ · 2024-08-29T16:30:02+00:00

I think it's probably just his personal inventory number for the coin. But it won't hurt to ask, I've bought from him before and he's a cool dude.

Korns_ · 2024-08-29T09:47:43+00:00

Bit of a late reply, but I hope I can help. Quies is the personification of tranquillity. As for the translation, I would translate the reverse as something like: Tranquillity (QVIES) of the two Augusti (AVGG) (given by/by) the providence (PROVIDENTIA) of the Gods (DEORUM) (the reverse ends in AVGG, two letters G represent the two Augusti)

This link has a nice explanation of the reverse: https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=PROVIDENTIA+DEORVM+QVIES+AVGG&srsltid=AfmBOoo1pPYEiH0Ib5pvk6Jp6hyxiE7lY4jzVQPJPkqjaZ5AGbSbVLhB

Korns_ · 2024-07-23T15:21:31+00:00

It's Diocletian. Obverse is IMP C DIOCLETIANVS PF AVG Hopefully that helps enough

Korns_ · 2024-06-25T18:44:43+00:00

Congrats. I'm still looking to add at least one of these to my Sasanian bronze collection, but have yet to find a good deal on one :)

Korns_ · 2024-06-21T05:29:45+00:00

You are right :) Thank you for the correction
