Hemidrachm - Wahram II

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.
