    I could not tell you if it is real or not, but you are not likely to get many eyes on it down here in a relatively old thread. You should start a new thread of your own.

    When buying coins like that it is more important to know that a dealer is trustworthy than to try to judge a coin from a picture. Sometimes you can tell a fake from a photo, and sometimes you can tell that a coin looks legit, but you can never be 100% sure it is real from a photo alone. Knowing the dealer is reliable is the key, and experienced collectors can help with that. (I'm not one in this area.)

    I think it is genuine. It is the most common Sasanian type of which very many are offered every month. Not only does it look genuine, but I think if anyone were making fake Sasanian coins, they would pick some other, scarcer, type. By the way, unclipped examples weigh 4 grams or a bit more. If it is less than four grams, it will have been clipped (in antiquity) to illicitly harvest silver and hope to still pass the coin at full value.
