    A very interesting Arab-Sasanian piece! The obverse gives the name of Farrokhzad, apparently a local governor whose name is found on several varieties of Arab-Sasanian coins but who is otherwise unknown to history. But I don't recognize this reverse type, and I can't find it listed in Gyselen's book (at least not the first edition, maybe the second edition [which of course I don't have] lists it). Definitely worth contacting an expert to learn more.

    Beautiful piece!

    These early post-Sasanian AE's are fascinating and can be quite valuable.
