    @JeandAcre......Wonderful group with a nice variety of mint locations and dates...Particularly like the almost 'jester like' crown on the Hormizd II... @dougsmit........That's quite an iconic coin for me Doug, as your page on forum is why I began to collect Sassanian coinage many years ago...Very nice example.. @Curtisimo........Nice coin with sweet toning....Like BBA mint mark as I've yet to add this to my collection.

    Here's an interesting feline coin.. Kashmir Toramana II... A nice supposed lifetime issue of Toramana II with an added bonus! The reason I bought this coin is at 7 0'clock on the reverse you can clearly see the lions head that Lakshmi is seated on...Quite difficult to find the lion depicted in such detail.
