Anmerkungen
This copper Pashiz/Fals blends elements of the design of traditional Sasanian coins with others of the new Islamic faith. The Arabic inscription al-‘izzat lillah found on the obverse of this coin means "glory to God". The figure's upright fingers pointing to heaven were intended to call those who used the coins to become followers of Islam.
