    My first Sasanian. Been browsing Sasanian and Parthian stuff a little, to branch out into non-classical ancient civilizations a bit.

    I sort of wanted something with a fire altar on it, and this Khusro/Khosrow II drachm seemed reasonable to me, on a gut level.

    I liked the toning and the fact that it's datable to one particular year (ca. 611 AD in this case), which I thought was neat. I asked Marc Breitsprecher (the dealer formerly known as "Ancient Imports") about how these were dated, and he provided me with a link to this page.

    So now my horizons are thus broadened a tiny bit.

    Picked up a job-lot at a local auction today. Picked out some of the more interesting pieces to share:

    I would appreciate any info on the bottom left coin in the first picture, the coin weight(?) bottom left in the third picture, and the Chinese little one bottom right of the third picture.

    Also got this rather nice Victoria 1893 Crown and an unusual countermarked 1918 penny that has been plated:

    The arrow on the Penny is a Broad Arrow (War Dept) Government Property.
    Probably a key tag.

    Yes - I knew it was War dept - I am ex-military myself so I have seen a lot of these. I wonder what the AID was?
