<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 2397704, member: 74834&quot;]I always liked Sassanian coins since I was a boy. I&#039;m careful buying original Sassanians because I only want excellent condition. And Xusro II is often in disappointing style and execution. But the best of the Xusro II&#039;s are impressive large silver coins with a Bluto-ish countenance. </p><p>There are many imitations in all directions, Indian thick little coins and Hunnic masters of the game, and sloppy, countermarked billon coins that are still very much to my taste. Here&#039;s a drachm of Peroz (about 475) and a Hunnic Kidarite coin (about 400), that&#039;s in fact better than its examples. And a billon Hephthalite imitation of the early 6th century. All of these are thin 27-30 mm coins. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]493387[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]493388[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]493389[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
