Drachm - Varhran II type V/1

Vahram II ruled through a period of acute dynastic instability — his reign saw no fewer than three usurpation attempts, including the revolt of his own brother Hormizd in the eastern provinces around 283 AD. The coinage was reorganized several times in response, which accounts for the multiplicity of type classifications across Göbl and the SNS corpus for issues spanning this single reign.

The overlap between Göbl V/1 and VI/1a in the reference citations here reflects genuine scholarly disagreement about where certain die groups belong chronologically within the reign rather than any production anomaly.
