Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a crowned king on the obverse side, which suggests that it was issued during a time when the Sasanian Empire was ruled by a monarch. Additionally, the coin's reverse side features an image of a god, possibly Ahura Mazda, which further highlights the importance of religion in the Sasanian Empire.
