Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is an imitation of a Sassanian coin, which was a common practice among the Hunnic tribes during that time period. The Sassanian Empire was a powerful and influential empire in the region, and the Huns likely sought to capitalize on its prestige and authority by creating their own versions of its coins. This imitation coin, known as a "Warham IV imitation," is a unique example of cultural exchange and economic influence between two powerful civilizations of the time.
