INDO-SASANIAN, Sind. Uncertain king. Mid 7th - early 8th centuries. AR Dinar (16.5mm, 6.99 g, 8h). Crowned bust right, imitating Sasanian style / Fire altar with attendants. Unpublished in the standard references. Fine, toned.
From the collection of Dr. Lawrence A. Adams, purchased from Hakim Hamidi (Persic Gallery), November 1997.
This issue is from a series that is virtually unknown, and apparently not subjected to any significant numismatic study. Stylistically, it appears to bridge the gap between the latest Sasanian-period issues of Sind and the earliest coinage of the Imperial Prataharas.
