Pre-reform issues

Pre-reform issues, Arab-Sasanian. In the name of Khusraw II. AR Drachm (32.3mm, 4.03 g, 10h). APN mint (uncertain location). Dated year 35 (uncertain era). Obverse margin: - / bismillah / - / -. Malek, Arab-Sasanian -; SICA 1, -; Album 4. A few scraches in fields. Good VF. Rare. The mint-signature on this coin appears to read APN; this might be a variation of APL (probably Abarshahr), a blundered version of SLCN, or represent a completely different mint-name. Malek records a similar drachm with the mint-signature APL, bearing a date read as YE 32 (Malek, Arab-Sasanian 28), while no Khusraw II drachms from SLCN are known. The coin is of quite coarse style, and may possibly be a contemporary imitation
