| Aanvullende informatie |
Wahram II is the only Sasanian king known to have depicted multiple figures on a single coin — a deliberate political maneuver reflecting his need to legitimize contested authority by including his queen and crown prince on the coinage. This practice was unprecedented in the dynasty and was not repeated by his successors. The reign itself was marked by the usurpation attempt of his brother Hormizd in the eastern provinces, a conflict that consumed the early years of his rule and almost certainly influenced the propagandistic weight placed on dynastic imagery across his issues.
