This is a Sasanian drachma silver coin from the reign of Kavad I, graded AU50 by GBCA. It is one of the most representative coins of the ancient Persian Empire.
Issued: 488-531 AD, corresponding to the reign of Kavad I, the 19th Sasanian king, a key monarch in the revival of the Sasanian dynasty.
Specifications: Diameter 31.2mm, thickness 1.0mm, weight 4.0g, standard Sasanian drachma silver coin dimensions.
Grading: AU 50 (About Uncirculated), indicating good preservation of coin details with only minor circulation wear, a good grade for ancient coins.
Obverse: A half-length portrait of Kavad I, wearing the iconic Sasanian crown (with a flame pattern at the top, symbolizing royal power and Zoroastrian faith), facing right. The edge is surrounded by Pahlavi inscriptions, a typical design of Sasanian coins.
The reverse side features the iconic Zoroastrian fire altar and priest motif of the Sasanian dynasty. The priests on either side symbolize Zoroastrian monks who guard the sacred fire, directly reflecting the state religion of the Sasanian dynasty.
