Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Drachm - Nambed (60-85) from Kingdom of Persis (Persian Empires) made of Silver weighing 3.51 g is that it features an image of the Persian king, Ardashir I, on one side and a fire altar on the other. The fire altar was an important symbol of the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism, which was the dominant religion of the Persian Empire at the time. This coin was minted during the reign of Ardashir I, who was the founder of the Sassanian Empire, which was the last Persian Empire before the Arab conquest.
