| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing royal bust of Ardashir III wearing a distinctive winged crown surmounted by a globe, with a crescent and short ribbon at the rear; the diadem is composed of two rows of beads. The king is depicted with a curled beard, earring, and a beaded necklace with three pendants; a 'royal ribbon' issues above the shoulder. Stars-and-crescents appear on and beneath the shoulders, and three additional stars-and-crescents are symmetrically distributed in the field. A star-and-crescent device appears to the right of the crown. Pahlavi legend surrounding the portrait. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ardashir III came to the throne at roughly seven years old following the murder of his father Kavad II, himself having ruled only a matter of months after overthrowing Khosrow II. The boy-king's reign lasted under two years before he was killed — almost certainly on the orders of the general Shahrbaraz, who seized the throne in 630. These coins were struck during one of the most violent successions in Sasanian history, a period in which the empire burned through six rulers in roughly four years while simultaneously hemorrhaging territory to the Byzantines and facing the first stirrings of the Arab conquests to the south.
