| Additional information |
Azarmidukht ruled for under a year, one of two daughters of Khosrow II to claim the Sasanian throne in the catastrophic decade following his execution in 628. Her reign ended when the powerful general Farrukh Hormizd — whom she had refused to marry — was killed at her order, prompting his son Rostam to overthrow and blind her. The brevity of her rule and the administrative collapse of the late Sasanian state combined to produce an extremely small surviving corpus of her coinage.
The Göbl absence for this type reflects ongoing scholarly uncertainty about mint attribution rather than modern discovery; SNS Schaaf 702-703 remains the primary reference anchor.
