I very much enjoyed reading this thread and seeing the accompanying coin images shared by members. There's so much info. I'm often pleasantly impressed with the write ups in the Ancient forum. I look forward to more. I was referred to this thread after starting another one on such similar coins, which I recently saw in exhibition in Washington D.C. For the purpose of cross referencing, here's the link to it, though it pales in comparison to the thread! Bravo everyone! Sasanian and Early Islamic Coins
