Comment
Unread word to right of bust on obverse, notrace of inscriptions for date or mint, stylized type that was
most likely struck after Khusraw’s death in 628, perhaps
officially or privately under Arab.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Umayyad Caliphate, which was the first Islamic caliphate established after the death of Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE. The Umayyad Caliphate was known for its significant cultural, scientific, and artistic achievements, and this coin is a reflection of that. The coin's design, which features Arabic inscriptions and a central image of a crowned figure, showcases the blending of Arabian and Persian influences in the Umayyad Empire's art and architecture.
