<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1694735, member: 19463"]On my coin note obverse on the inner circle of dots just right of the king's nose. On the reverse look between the base of the fire altar and the feet of the left attendant. These two raised lumps are back to back on the coin and suggest to me a silver plug was inserted in the coin at that position. There are similar lumps on the OP coin but the obverse one is much smaller. The question is whether they line up. Most Sasanian coins have 3h or 9h axes and allowing for the inverted photo, I suspect they are close.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
