Drachm - Bahram IV

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.
