Though I have some nice drachms of his, I don&#039;t have anything special like fractional silver, though I&#039;m much into that. </p><p>This is all I have on photos for you, and the pictures are not spectacular, for they are difficult to make, as you say yourself. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1550262[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Shapur I (240-272), silver obol. Bust of king to the right with ball-topped crown and pearl netted back hair ball. Rev. Fire altar with attendants looking out, lances in their hands.
