Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dinar - Bahram II from Sasanian Empire is that it features an image of the king, Bahram II, on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts a mythical creature known as the "sphinx" - a creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human. This coin is significant because it showcases the cultural and artistic influences of the Sasanian Empire, which was known for its rich artistic and cultural heritage.
