Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Varhran V, also known as Bahram V, who was the king of the Sasanian Empire from 420 to 438 AD. He is depicted on the coin with a crown and a long beard, and his name is written in Pahlavi script on the coin's obverse. This coin was minted during a time of great cultural and religious significance for the Sasanian Empire, and it is a testament to the empire's rich history and heritage.
