<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 5332828, member: 81887&quot;]Great Christmas present!&nbsp; Coins 1-3 are Khusro II, 4 is Hormazd IV, 5 is Kavad I.&nbsp; My takes on dates and mintmarks (which are found to the left and right, respectively, on reverse):</p><p>1. LD (Rayy), date is in the twenties (first part is too hard to read)</p><p>2. BBA (Court Mint), can&#039;t read date at all</p><p>3. NAT (uncertain location in Kirman Province), year 7</p><p>4. LD (Rayy), year 12 (maybe)</p><p>5. mint probably DA (Darabgird)- it looks closer to DS, but I can&#039;t find any listing of a DS mint.&nbsp; no date on this type (there&#039;s stuff in the spot where a date would be, but it isn&#039;t a date.&nbsp; just ignore it)</p><p>The Parthian coin is Sellwood 78.5, which Sellwood attributed to Vologases III, but Assar reassigned to Pacorus I.</p><p>For dates and mintmarks on Sasanian coins, bookmark these two pages:</p><p><a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Sasanian%20Mints" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Sasanian%20Mints" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Sasanian Mints</a></p><p><a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Sasanian%20Dates" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Sasanian%20Dates" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Sasanian Dates</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
