Hi Ricardo

Definitely Sasanian, Khusru II, year 33, mint possibly GY (Giruft in Kirman province).

The Arab-Sasanian types are mostly rather different in style, see this page for example http://medievalcoins.ancients.info/cgi-bin/webdata_coinbase.pl?Dynasty=Umayyad&Ruler=Mu'awiya+bin+Abi+Sufyan&&cgifunction=Search.

Best wishes

Alan
