Boran — or Buran Dukht — was the first woman to rule the Sasanian Empire, ascending to the throne in 630 after the catastrophic losses of the Arab campaigns had gutted the male line of succession. Her reign lasted barely two years, and the empire she inherited was already fracturing irreversibly. Coins issued under her name are consequently among the rarest of the late Sasanian series.
The Type I/1 designation within Göbl's classification places this among the earliest strikes of her reign, before the mint network contracted further under military pressure.
