These imitations proliferated in the wake of Peroz I's catastrophic defeat and death at the hands of the Hephthalites in 484 AD — a battle so decisive that the Sasanian empire was forced into tributary payments for decades afterward. The Hephthalites, now holding Sasanian monetary prestige as political currency of their own, produced unofficial coinage modeled on Peroz's drachms across a span of several generations, with the four-dot variant distinguished within Göbl's classification as a specific die grouping rather than a mere stylistic accident.
