| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bearded bust of Yazdgerd I facing right, wearing an elaborate Sasanian crown surmounted by a crescent and globe, with voluminous curled hair rendered in the characteristic late Sasanian style. The royal effigy is encircled by a beaded border, with Inscriptional Pahlavi legends occupying the left and right fields flanking the bust. The portrait exhibits the typical high-relief hammered workmanship of Sasanian silver coinage, with finely articulated facial features and regal regalia. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Yazdgerd I is one of the more historically anomalous rulers of the Sasanian dynasty — sufficiently tolerant of Christians and Jews that later Zoroastrian sources branded him "the Sinner," a remarkable epithet for a king who by any external measure maintained a stable, prosperous reign. His accommodation of minority religious communities, and his role in convening the Synod of Isaac in 410 AD that formally organized the Church of the East, made him genuinely unusual among Sasanian monarchs. Byzantine sources, by contrast, treated him almost as an ally.
The SNS variant designation here flags minor die differences in the fire altar attendants — a classification granular enough to matter only to specialists working the full Göbl typology.
