MY (Mishan) mint.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Drachm - Ardashir III 1 (629) from Sasanian Empire (Sasanian Empire (224-651)) made of Silver weighing 4.09 g is that it features an image of the king, Ardashir III, on one side and a fire altar on the other. The fire altar was an important symbol of the Zoroastrian religion, which was the dominant religion of the Sasanian Empire. This coin was minted during the reign of Ardashir III, who ruled the empire from 628 to 630 CE and was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms.
