Lot description: Ancients SASANIAN KINGDOM. Shahpur (Sabuhr) II (AD 309-379). AR drachm (26mm, 3h). NGC VF. Mint I ("Ctesiphon"), ca. AD 309-320.

Cf. Sunrise 829 (dinar) for same die styles. Göbl Ib/5. From the Dynasty Collection, #165. Shahpur II, considered among the most prominent monarchs of the Sasanian Empire, reigned from 309 AD to 379 AD, marking one of the longest tenures in history. Ascending to the throne while still an infant, his reign was initially beset with internal political strife and external confrontations. However, Shahpur II managed to consolidate his control, ushering in a golden era of prosperity and military success for his empire. His rule saw significant geopolitical shifts, including robust defenses against Roman invasions and substantial expansions in the east. His diplomatic finesse is exemplified by the pivotal peace treaty of 363 AD, following Emperor Julian's failed invasion, which further secured the western frontiers of the empire. https://coins.ha.com/itm/ancients/oriental/ancients-sasanian-kingdom-shahpur-sabuhr-ii-ad-309-379-ar-drachm-26mm-3h-ngc-vf/a/61356-25140.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-61356-01292024 HID02906262019 © 2023 Heritage Auctions \| All Rights Reserved
