Khusro I -please confirm
« on: May 05, 2011, 01:51:31 pm »
Hi,

Could you confirm my suggestion about below coin?

For me, it is Khusro I (hwslwb), from Furat-i-Meshan (pl), 19 (nwcdh) year of reign. What means letters on left side of the obverse? Please help.

Best regards,
Piotr

Yep. You got it right. KI, PL year 19.  Letters on left = blundered 'pzwn

Thanks!

Sorry, but I don't understand: what does mean "blundered 'pzwn"?
I see these letters as: pa. Please help me again.

Regards,
Piotr

Yes, 'p (ap, short for 'pzwn).  Think it begins year 5 for Khusro I, then Hormazd IV and then switches over to 'pzwt for Khusro II.  'pzwn = increase.

Thanks very much.

Could you give me any references for this coin (Gobl or Sellwood)?

Thanks very much!

I know that coins of Khusro I are very common but maybe you know from which mints are more scarce than others?

Best regards,
Piotr
