Anmerkungen
An extremely rare coin. This type was first described by Shams Eshragh in 2004 (ONS Newsletter 178, Winter 2004, p. 46). The marginal inscription is a particularly good illustration of the emergence of Islamic references in local coinage. The phrase "Muhammad rasul Allah" (Muhammad is the Prophet of God) is written in Pahlavi here and includes the local term "Yazdan" to refer to God. The Arabic word "Allah" had clearly not yet passed into usage among non-Arabic-speaking populations.
