| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bust of Hormazd IV facing right in high relief, wearing the distinctive Sasanian royal crown surmounted by a large globe and adorned with elaborate wings and a crescent, with ribbons or korymbos visible behind the head. The royal effigy is encircled by a beaded inner ring, outside of which runs an Inscriptional Pahlavi legend. Four marginal symbols — crescents and stars — are placed at the cardinal points in the outer field beyond the legend band, following standard late Sasanian drachm typology. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hormazd IV ruled from 579 to 590 AD, his reign ending when his own son Khosrow II led a rebellion against him — Hormazd was blinded and then killed, almost certainly on Khosrow's orders. A drachm dated to 596 by the Yazdegerd era places this coin squarely in the early years of Khosrow II's troubled restoration, after he had briefly been deposed by the general Bahram Chobin and forced to seek Byzantine military aid to reclaim his throne.
