<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 3513245, member: 81887&quot;]Nice coins Doug, I think my favorite is the Caligula- I have always had a soft spot for the Roman Provincial Spain style.&nbsp; Here&#039;s a Khusro II drachm I recently purchased from Frank Robinson:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]931924[/ATTACH]</p><p>Two features attracted me to this coin: 1. The high-quality portrait of Khusro II, in the &quot;skinny face&quot; type (less common than the &quot;wide face&quot; portrait&quot;) with no areas of strike weakness like you often see on Sasanian coins, and 2. it is from Herat, a mint that I did not have (and which seems to be scarcer).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
