The attendant on the left wears the winged crown with korymbos, while the attendant on the right wears a mural crown, both with korymbos. The scene is a standard Sasanian religious motif referencing Zoroastrian fire worship. The composition is enclosed within a beaded border, with a Middle Persian (Pahlavi) legend in the outer field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wahram II ruled longer than either of his predecessors of the same name, but his reign was anything but stable — he faced a usurpation by his brother Hormizd in the east and a Roman invasion under Carus that briefly penetrated as far as Ctesiphon in 283 AD. That Roman advance collapsed only because Carus died under circumstances still debated: lightning strike, illness, or assassination. Wahram's coinage from this period reflects an administration under persistent pressure to project legitimacy it had to repeatedly defend by force.
