<p>[QUOTE=&quot;THCoins, post: 2283124, member: 57364&quot;]No, you can find the falus denomination right up to the 20th century.</p><p>The origin of the sunface motto i think lies somewhere around the time of the Ilkhans, but it was used for several centuries. It has nothing to do with the Sasanids. The sunface is not the portrait of a real person. In addition, the ban on depiction of people is mainly a Sunnite thing. The Shiite which dominate the Persian region are not so strict. Otherwise there would alsno not be the Iran monetary issues with Ayatollah Khomeini on them.</p><p>Lastly, the elegant curvy Persian script on the coins is fairly late. In the beginning of Arab coinage you would mainly see coins with straight Kufic script.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
