Dinar - Hormazd I

Hormazd I ruled for less than a year following the death of Shapur I, making his coinage among the briefest-reign issues in the Sasanian series. The dynasty was barely thirty years old at this point, still consolidating the fire-altar and investiture imagery that would define its numismatic output for the next four centuries, and Hormazd's issues show early typological features not yet standardized under later monarchs.

Die linkage studies suggest production was limited strictly to the central royal mint, with no provincial output confirmed for his reign.
