| Beschrijving voorzijde | Jugate busts of Varhran II (Bahram II), wearing a winged crown surmounted by a korymbos, and his queen, wearing a kolah adorned with a boar's head, facing right; confronting these, the bust of a prince faces left, presenting a wreath and wearing a kolah crowned with an eagle's head. The composition is arranged in a three-figure tableau characteristic of Bahram II's distinctive multi-portrait coinage. Inscriptional Pahlavi legends surround the effigies within a beaded border. |

Wahram II ruled the longest of the early Sasanian kings to face simultaneous pressure on two frontiers — Roman aggression in the west under Carus and Diocletian, and Kushano-Sasanian instability in the east. He ultimately ceded significant eastern territories to his brother Hormizd, who established a semi-independent Kushano-Sasanian kingdom, a dynastic fracture that weakened Sasanian control over Bactria for generations. The silver coinage of his reign is notably variable in fabric and execution, reflecting what numismatists interpret as production across multiple regional minting centers rather than a single centralized operation.
