The reverse of this coin has a close resemblance to the 
reverse of coins of Khusrau I issued in the first four years of 
his reign, as well as in the first portion of the 5th regnal year. 
From the latter portion of the 5th regnal year right on till the 
47th regnal year the reverse of his coins follows the devices of 
those of his father 
This Dirham was a great puzzle to me for a long time, as it 
bears only the last two letters of the name of Zamasp y% 72. = 
v(t) = (a) sp. 
Inasmuch as the coins already known of Zamasp bear on 
their obverse the legend ‘* 5A) J *’ = alj= Zam, consisting of the 
first three letters of his name, this peculiarity of writing con- 
vinced me that Zamasp must have adhered to the principle of 
not having his name written in full on his coins, being content 
that only a portion of his name should appear. 
For comparison with the Dirhams already known of 
Zamasp, I give an illustration of a Dirham in my cabinet 
(fig. 2) bearing the regnal year uxis=2/5P =Trin—3 and the 
Mint 4/) —& = Baba. 
The coin figured as No. 1 is also in my possession,
