Description

SASANIAN KINGDOM: Khusro III, ca. 631-632, AR drachm (3.43g), WYHC (the Treasury mint), year 2, G-232, king's bust without beard, nice strike, also assigned to Khusro IV/V, if indeed so many different Khusros did exist, choice VF-EF, ex Alan S. DeShazo Collection. Interesting graffiti in reverse margin, which seems to be IX encircled; could this mean that the reduced weight was reckoned as 9/10 of the full drachm weight?
Estimate: USD 140 - 180
