HEPHTHALITES. Aria? After 457 AD. AR Drachm (3.84 gm). Imitating Sasanian king Peroz. Crowned bust right resembling Peroz; crown with horns and korymbos decorated with triskeles / Fire altar flanked by royal attendants, star and crescent above. Göbl, Hunnen -; Alram -; MACW 1471. Toned EF. ($300)

This type is not recorded by Göbl in either his standard work on the Huns or his supplements. The small triskeles symbol is not seen elsewhere, but is probably a solar symbol, as are the "wheel" or "sunflower" seen on other Hunnic coins.
