SASANIAN KINGS. Peroz I. AD 457/9-484. AR Drachm (25mm, 4.21 g, 4h). Imitative issue(?). Crowned bust left / Fire altar with ribbons, attendants flanking; star and crescent flanking flames; mint signature to left, degraded Pahlavi legend to right. Unpublished in the standard references. Good VF, some obverse roughness.


This coin is highly unusual in that the bust is facing left and the mint signature, possibly a degraded form of “SY”, is placed on the opposite side of the reverse field.
