| Aanvullende informatie |
Bahram VI — known as Bahram Chobin — was not a member of the Sasanian royal family at all, but a general of the Mihranid house who seized the throne from Hormizd IV's son Khosrow II in 590. His reign lasted barely a year before Khosrow, backed by Byzantine military support personally authorized by Emperor Maurice, drove him east. Bahram retreated into Sogdia, where he was assassinated around 591, almost certainly at Khosrow's instigation.
The extreme brevity of his rule, combined with the disruption of civil war, kept mintage low across all recorded varieties.
