Tabaristan Caspian Sea c.A.D. 780-793 Silver Hemidrachm / Altar NGC MS (051)
This Caspian Era Silver Hemidrachm originates from Ancient Tabaristan, dating back to approximately A.
D. 780-793. Graded by NGC as MS, the coin features a crowned bust on the obverse and a depiction of a fire altar with attendants on the reverse.
Tabaristan, a kingdom situated along the southern shores of the Caspian Sea (now Northern Iran), drew influence from the Sassanian Empire despite its eventual conquest by Muslims and conversion to Islam.
This coin serves as a tangible link to a bygone era, showcasing the artistry and historical significance of the region during that time.
