<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 24634542, member: 81887&quot;]Glad you&#039;re continuing in this rewarding study.&nbsp; So: The crown, borders, etc. could fit either Khusro I or Hormazd IV.&nbsp; (There are subtle differences in their crowns that aren&#039;t well-preserved on your specimen.)&nbsp; The name before the bust is pretty terrible, all I can make out for sure is R which doesn&#039;t help us.&nbsp; I agree with your reading of the mint name.&nbsp; For the year, it definitely begins with HSh, which limits it to 18, 28, 38, or 48.&nbsp; Of these, I think 38 best fits your inscription, but in any case, any of these choices would only fit Khusro I as Hormazd I only goes up to Year 12, while Khusro I does go up to 48.&nbsp; So, I agree with your attribution to ruler and the mintmark, but differ on the precise date.&nbsp; Thanks for sharing, and please ask any other questions you may have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
