| Beschrijving voorzijde | Conjoined busts of Bahram II (Varhran II) and his queen facing right: the king wearing a winged crown surmounted by a korymbos, and the queen wearing a kolah headdress adorned with a boar's head; opposite them, facing left, is the bust of the Crown Prince wearing a kolah headdress surmounted by an eagle's head. The three effigies are presented in a vis-à-vis composition, a distinctive hallmark of Bahram II coinage. Middle Persian legends in Pahlavi script flank the royal portraits in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bahram II's reign was defined almost immediately by fraternal war — his brother Hormizd, governor of Kushano-Sasanian territories, challenged his legitimacy in a conflict that dragged on for years and ultimately forced Bahram into a compromising peace with Rome in 283 AD. The emperor Carus had pushed deep into Mesopotamia virtually unopposed, reaching as far as Ctesiphon, a humiliation that Bahram could not reverse given his ongoing dynastic troubles in the east.
The Göbl VII/1 classification places this among the earliest die groupings of his reign, struck before the administrative consolidation that produced the more standardized late issues.
