Item No. 102646 SASANIAN KINGDOM: Khusraw II, 591-628, AR drachm, "ShY" (Shiraz), year "37", G-212 style, contemporary imitation, from the Silk Road hoard, only two pieces in the hoard, EF to About Unc. Early imitation, believed to have been produced in the Tukharistan region within 10 to 20 years after the death of Khusro II in 628 AD. The issues with different mint names occasionally share the same reverse die, suggest that the entire group was produced at a single local mint northeast of the Sasanian territories for use along the Silk Road. The hoard will be published in the ONS Newsletter #209 or 210. |
