<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 7378757, member: 26302&quot;]Wow, wonder how I missed this thread. Very interesting. I never knew Vahran V was technically Jewish. I did know he reclaimed his father and grandfather&#039;s throne with an Arab army at his back, so it makes sense he was in Arabia at the time. </p><p><br /></p><p>The one other very interesting aspect of Vahran V is he is one of the most famous Sasanian rulers in Muslim history. He is known as the famous Bahramgur, of many different fables. </p><p><br /></p><p>I just got the coin I posted a few months ago. Much larger than most other contemporary drachms, ang very interesting. I also got the group lot of many of his from a CNG auction, (half Vahran V and half his father). The Vahran V are simply fantastic, as close to FDC as you achieve in these middle dates. However, only one was similar to the coin I posted, with a figure in the middle of the fire alter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
