| Aanvullende informatie |
Varhran V — Bahram Gur in Persian literary tradition — is the most romanticized of the Sasanian kings, celebrated in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh as a hunter and poet-king. His reign was punctuated by the persecution of Christians within the empire and a consequent war with Byzantium in 421–422, resolved quickly by treaty. The gold coinage of his reign is among the more consistent of the dynasty, with relatively stable weight standards maintained throughout.
