<p>[QUOTE="Parthicus, post: 8323236, member: 81887"]Wow, a Sasanian drachm posted for ID that's not Khusro II! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I can see why you guessed Valkash, but close examination of the crown and the inscription before the portrait make me think this is Varahran V (420-439). Mintmark on reverse is a little hard to read but may be AY (Airan Khurra Shahpur). A neat find for a local coin shop![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
