In the center is&nbsp; Sasanian king Shapur I who in the 3rd century AD captured the Roman Emperor Valerian I and used him as a footstool.&nbsp; On the right is a coin of Hārūn al-Rashīd from c.800 AD famous as the Bagdad Sultan in the 1001 Nights/Scheherazade story and who exchanged gifts with Charlemagne, the king of France.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
