<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1970996, member: 26302&quot;]Are you sure yours is not a Shapur II Collect? Looks like it to me, an early issue. Shapur II was the great transitional king. Early in his reign the coins had fine style, like yours, while later in the reign they become more like Peroz&#039;s issues. I have seen some as nice as the Hormizd II coin doug shows, which was the immediately preceeding emperor to Shapur II. He reigned for over 70 years, so its understable styles changed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Doug, good luck finding a misattributed Boran. Remember, she didn&#039;t have a beard and had pony tails. Kind of hard to miss. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Nice coin Matt. I find all early Sassanid coins very attractive. For those who want some REAL variety, check out Ardashir issues. As the first reign, they were still trying to figure out what a sassanid coin should look like, so there are tons of varieties in his coinage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
