Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a king, believed to be Wahram IV, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) features a fire altar, which was a sacred symbol in Zoroastrianism, the dominant religion of the Sasanian Empire at the time.
