<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1704194, member: 19463&quot;]While Peroz may have had his weaknesses as a king, he sure made nice coins.&nbsp; Steve&#039;s example (is it AY mint?) shows detail on both sides without the blank spots from too little metal to fill both dies.&nbsp; Like the more common and crude Khusro II coins, Peroz coins come from 24 mints clearly marked on the reverse if you read the script.&nbsp; That is where most of us fall short.&nbsp; Comparing to charts and photos on this site helps:</p><p><a href="http://www.grifterrec.com/coins/sasania/sas_perI_1.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.grifterrec.com/coins/sasania/sas_perI_1.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.grifterrec.com/coins/sasania/sas_perI_1.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately few coins of Peroz were year dated or at least not clearly enough that we escape using terms like &#039;blundered&#039;.&nbsp; I&#039;m never 100% confident that I am reading the mints correctly.&nbsp; Dates are much worse even on coins that have them.&nbsp;&nbsp; This thread will force me to revisit my two coins since I see that the letters I read as R might be L.&nbsp;&nbsp; I might collect these if I could get to a point of feeling comfortable with the letters.</p><p>&nbsp; [ATTACH]260582.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]260583.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
