Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dinar - Varhran V (420-438) coin from the Sasanian Empire is that it features an image of the king, Varhran V, in a distinctive crown and royal attire, which was a common design element in Sasanian coinage. The coin also bears an inscription in Pahlavi, the ancient language of the Sasanian Empire, which translates to "Varhran, the king of kings, the king of Iran." This coin is a rare and valuable example of Sasanian numismatics and is highly sought after by collectors and historians.
