Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dinar - Peroz (lightweight) coin is that it was issued during the reign of King Peroz (477-484 AD), who was known for his military campaigns against the Hephthalite Empire and his efforts to reform the Sasanian Empire's economy and military. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and a fire altar on the other, symbolizing the Zoroastrian religion that was prevalent during the Sasanian Empire.
