Watch List notes:

ARAB-SASANIAN, KHUSRAW II TYPE Drachm, MY (Mishan) 20YE = 32h Obverse: Sasanian bust with name of Khusraw to right; jayyid in margin Weight: 3.62g References: ANS 1986.126.12, same dies = SICA 1, p.7 (apparently incorrectly described as bearing the name and bust of Yazdigerd III) Very fine, reverse better, extremely rare. Two varieties of drachm were issued at Mishan in this year. The earlier was of standard Sasanian type with the obverse margin plain, but later it was decided to include the Arabic word jayyid in the second quadrant before the bust – possibly by modifying an existing die. This is the first year in which Islamic silver coins were produced.
