Interesting fact
The Sasanian Empire, which issued the Drachm - Yazdgerd III 10 (638) coin, was the last Persian Empire before the Arab conquest in 651 CE. It was known for its impressive architecture, including the palace of Persepolis, which was built during the reign of Yazdgerd III. The empire was also notable for its religious tolerance, with Zoroastrianism being the dominant religion, but other faiths such as Christianity and Judaism also being practiced.
