<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3584951, member: 98035&quot;]1.1.2 Coin 2</p><p>23mm</p><p>3.91g[ATTACH=full]956933[/ATTACH] </p><p>A personal favorite, this one unfortunately has a mostly flat-struck portrait, but is otherwise in excellent condition. A bit more in line with the original Peroz, the portrait of this king looks slightly upward, and the ribbons are also tilted, although they still display as the simplified lines typical of this style. There is a beard running around the back of the king&#039;s jaw, but it doesn&#039;t seem to wrap all the way around to his chin. He is also sporting a small mustache or fu manchu, which is not often seen in this coin type. The nose is also characteristically large for this type, and the hat only bears a passing resemblance to Peroz&#039;s crown - it appears to be a winged skull cap with no brim, and the orb is incredibly small if not completely nonexistent.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the reverse, the basic formula for the fire altar is the same, but the top is much wider than most, and the rows of flame-pellets are uneven and seem to follow a 5-4-3-1 pattern. The attendants are highly stylized and already approaching the &quot;fish bone&quot; look here. Unusually, the parentheses shapes (attendants&#039; other arm/hand) curves outward away from the flame, not inward.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
