Khusro I: The Parthian Kings Silver Coinage and Its Influence on Rome, Islamic Silver Coin
The Parthian King Khusri (also known as Khosrow or Khosrow I) is famous for his reign in the 6th century AD, but it seems you’re referring to the earlier Parthian kings, possibly Khosrow I (531-579 AD) or Khusro I (or Khosrow II). However, regarding silver coins, these kings minted a variety of coins during their rule, which were common in the Parthian Empire and neighboring regions, including parts of the Roman Empire, as trade was frequent between the two.
If you are looking for a silver coin from this period that might have been used in Rome or was possibly part of Roman-Parthian exchanges, many of the Parthian kings issued silver drachmas, which were widely used in the trade networks of the Roman Empire. These coins often featured the king’s portrait on one side, and deities or royal symbols on the other.
There are specific Parthian kings who interacted with Rome, and some of them minted coins that either had Roman influences or were found in Roman territories.
