<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 4558708, member: 81887&quot;]Thanks [USER=87809]@cmezner[/USER] for the suggestions.&nbsp; I guess the mint could be DYNAS, allowing for the variability of Pahlavi script.&nbsp; The second and third letter on my coin look almost identical, but the second should be much shorter than the third.&nbsp; Also, the last upright part of the S seems to be missing.&nbsp; Oh well, close enough for government work, as they say. I think the year is 36 (ShShSYH), with the H being a bit squished and looking more like a T.&nbsp; I&#039;m a bit puzzled by your link to Richard Plant&#039;s book on reading Arabic coins.&nbsp; I own a copy of the book, and it is indeed very useful, but I don&#039;t see how it&#039;s relevant to Sasanian coins, which use Pahlavi script (except for a few of the late Arab-Sasanian types which include some Arabic alongside the Pahlavi).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
