Additional information

Hormizd I ruled for less than a year following the death of Shapur I, making his coinage among the scarcest in the Sasanian series by simple arithmetic of time. The Sunrise 752 attribution places this squarely within the accepted typological sequence, though the brevity of his reign means die studies remain difficult — not enough examples survive to establish firm chronologies of emission order.
