Drachm - Yazdgard I type Ia1/1a

Yazdgard I ruled from 399 to 420 AD and earned the epithet "the Sinner" from Zoroastrian clergy, who despised his tolerant policies toward Christians and Jews — a hostility so entrenched that the priests reportedly celebrated his death. His reign nonetheless produced some of the most consistent coinage of the late Sasanian period, with mint output tightly controlled across provincial fire-temple workshops. The Göbl Type I/1 classification places this among his earliest issues, before the mint-signature system became more elaborate under his successors.
