| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Shapur III facing right, wearing the distinctive Sasanian royal crown adorned with a prominent korymbos and a beaded diadem, with long hair flowing behind. The king is depicted with a beard, large earring, and a beaded necklace, rendered in high relief characteristic of Sasanian goldsmithing. The portrait is encircled by a beaded border, with a partial foliate or flame-like decorative band visible in the right field. The effigy displays the bold, stylized portraiture typical of late 4th-century Sasanian coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Shapur III ruled for just five years before being killed by his own nobles — crushed under a collapsed tent in what ancient sources suggest was no accident. His reign produced one of the shorter Sasanian gold series, and the type referenced here corresponds to the early emission before the subtle die adjustments documented in Göbl's progression from 6a onward. Surviving examples in any condition are genuinely scarce relative to the major Shapur II issues that precede them.
