Beschrijving voorzijde Draped bust of Shapur II facing right, crowned with a distinctive mural crown surmounted by a korymbos (globular hair bundle), a characteristic element of early Sasanian royal portraiture. A six-pointed star symbol is positioned in the field before the king's face. The portrait is rendered in high relief with pronounced facial features including a beard, and the royal diadem ribbons are visible trailing behind the crown. A beaded border encircles the design, with traces of Inscriptional Pahlavi legend along the periphery.

Aanvullende informatie

Shapur II ascended to the Sasanian throne before his birth — the nobles, anticipating a male heir, crowned the womb of his mother, making him the only ruler in recorded history crowned in utero. He would go on to reign for 70 years, the longest of any Sasanian king. The pashiz denomination in bronze circulated at the fractional end of the monetary system, and bronze issues from his earliest regnal years are substantially underrepresented in reference literature — Göbl's corpus documents only the drachm series for this die pairing, leaving the bronze coinage effectively uncatalogued in the major references.
