Aanvullende informatie

Hormazd II ruled for roughly six years before being killed — almost certainly by members of the Sasanian nobility, the same aristocratic factions that had grown powerful enough to depose and blind multiple kings across the third and fourth centuries. His young son Adur Narseh was murdered outright; another son was imprisoned. The throne passed only after a third son, still unborn at the time of Hormazd's death, was legitimized in utero — that child became Shapur II, who would reign for seventy years.

Göbl's I/1b places this dinar among the earliest die groupings of the reign.
