Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dinar - Boran (630-631) coin from the Sasanian Empire is that it features an image of the king, Boran, on one side and a fire altar on the other. This fire altar is a symbol of the Zoroastrian religion, which was the dominant religion of the Sasanian Empire at the time. The inclusion of this symbol on the coin highlights the importance of religion in the empire and the close relationship between the ruling dynasty and the religious leaders.
