Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Sasanian Empire's Drachm - Buran coin (631-632) is that it features an image of the mythical creature, the "Buran," which is a winged horse with a human head and body. This coin was issued during the reign of King Ardashir III (628-632 AD), who was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. The Buran coin was an important symbol of the empire's power and influence during that time.
