SASANIAN KINGS. Kavadh I (?), second reign, 499-531. Pashiz (Bronze, 24 mm, 2.00 g, 2 h), a contemporary local imitation. Stylized and draped bust of Kavadh I (?) to right, wearing mural crown with frontal crescent and korymbos set on crescent. Rev. Fire altar flanked by two attendants. Very fine.

Local imitation of Sasanian bronze coins are very rare. This is a particularly wild and charming example.
