Abstract:
Sassanid coins show us valuable documents from the history, culture, art and religion of the Sassanid Iran. During the Sassanid period, gold coins were minted mainly for fame and prestige. After the death of Gobad I in 531, his son Khosrow I came to the throne with the support of the court and the clergy. Khosrow I aimed to revive the Sasanid Empire with his reforms which can be considered as the outcome of his successful military operations. Between 557 and 558, Khosrow defeated the Heptalians. In addition, he repelled the Turks’ invasion of the Near East between 572 and 577. In the west, he negotiated with the Roman emperor Justinian, resulting in an agreement known as the Eternal Peace. Due to his victories, Khosrow Anoushirvan minted the following statement on the gold coin we are discussing: Iranians have become fearless.
