The king wears an elaborate winged merlon crown surmounted by a korymbos hair bundle enclosed in a globe, characteristic of his reign. Beaded necklace and jeweled collar adorn the neck and shoulders. A Middle Persian (Pahlavi) royal legend is inscribed to the right of the bust within a beaded border. The portrait is rendered in high relief in the confident Sasanian court style. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bahram IV reigned for roughly a decade in the 390s, a period in which the Sasanian empire was managing persistent pressure on its eastern frontier from the Chionites and Kidarites — nomadic groups that had already forced Shapur II into prolonged campaigning a generation earlier. His coinage is not especially rare, but the brief mint attribution windows tied to this type make die-linked examples genuinely useful for chronological arguments about late fourth-century Sasanian monetary administration.
