Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a king, believed to be Wahram V, on one side, and an image of a god, believed to be Ahura Mazda, on the other. This coin is significant because it highlights the religious and political beliefs of the Sasanian Empire during that time period.
