Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dinar - Narseh (type II/2) coin is that it features a unique blend of Persian and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of King Narseh, dressed in a Roman-style cuirass and crown, while the reverse side features a representation of the Persian god Ahura Mazda, indicating the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Sasanian Empire's period.
