Ancient Sassanian Silver - 591-628 AD!

These Sassanian (the spelling "Sasanian" is also used) Silver Dirhem are perhaps unequaled in value for an ancient silver coin. They have impressive size - about the diameter of a U.S. half dollar, are high grade - sharp, extremely fine or better and sell for about the same price as smaller, more common ancient bronzes. The Sassanians, who revived the Archaemenid tradition and re-established Zoroastrianism as the state religion, were the last dynasty of native rulers to reign in Persia (now Iran) before the Arab conquest, around 640. The name Sassanian comes from Sassan, ancestor of Ardashir I, who founded the dynasty and reigned from 224-240.
