| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Varhran II (Bahram II) facing right, wearing an elaborate winged crown surmounted by a korymbos (hair bundle encased in a spherical ornament); a trefoil of pellets is positioned immediately behind the korymbos. The portrait is rendered in the characteristic Sasanian relief style, with strong facial features and detailed regalia indicative of royal iconography. The field surrounding the bust retains the typical plain treatment of early Sasanian coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wahram II ruled during one of the Sasanian dynasty's most politically turbulent stretches — his reign saw repeated challenges from his brother Hormizd, who briefly seized power as a rival claimant, and from Bahram of Sistan, a separatist prince who minted his own coinage. The hemidrachm denomination itself reflects a transitional moment in Sasanian monetary policy, sitting between the drachm-dominated issues of Shapur I and the more standardized silver production that would follow under Narseh.
The Göbl I/1 classification places this among the earliest die groups of the reign.
