Ardashir I founded the Sasanian dynasty by defeating and killing the last Arsacid king, Artabanus IV, at the Battle of Hormozdgan in 224 AD — the same year this fractional gold coinage begins. The star symbol behind the bust is a dynastic or divine marker whose precise meaning remains debated among Sasanian specialists; Göbl's classification system separates these star-type issues from the plain bust varieties as a distinct emission, not merely a die accident.
Fractional gold of this early period is genuinely scarce. Most Sasanian gold production concentrated on full dinars, making the sixth-dinar a minor denomination struck in limited numbers for specific transactional or ceremonial purposes that have not been conclusively established.
