Good VF-EF
Very rare reverse featuring Ashaiexo, the personification of righteous truth as well as a defense for the righteous against death, illness, and their enemies. As he is said to receive prayers intended for Ahura Mazda, he serves as a divine mediary between this world and heaven. Although an important deity in the Iranian pantheon, coins are very rare, and only 5 examples are found on Coinarchives (the most recent selling in 2016 – hammer 3200 CHF)
