Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of King Varhran II (also known as Bahram II) on one side and a representation of the Persian goddess Anahita on the other. Anahita was an important deity in ancient Persia, associated with fertility, water, and wisdom. The inclusion of her image on the coin highlights the cultural and religious significance of the Sasanian Empire, which was known for its rich artistic and religious heritage.
