Shapur I

3.79 gms, 24 mm

Obv: Crowned bust right, wearing earring; crown w/ earflap

Rev: Fire Alter with two attendants

Grade: gF nicely toned, attractive, and completely legible

Other:
Obverse Pahlavi script states: “The Mazda worshipper, the divine Shahpur, king of kings of Iran who is descendent from the Gods”. Reverse states “Fire of Shahpur”. Note that Shapur I killed Gordian III & defeated Philip I (The Arab). He also enslaved Valerian I, used Valerian as a step stool to mount his horse and ultimately stuffed Valerian as a trophy.

 

I suppose that this coin can be posted under S or N.
