Pre-reform issues, Arab-Sasanian. In the name of Khusraw II. AR Drachm (32mm, 3.99 g, 2h). ART (Ardashir Khurra) mint. Dated AH 44? (AD 664/5). Obverse margin: – / bism Allah / rabbi / –. Malek,Arab-Sasanian –; Album 5. Near EF. Extremely rare, believed unpublished.

The date on this coin could be read as 34 (YE) or 44 (AH), but either date would be too early for the introduction of the bism Allah rabbi type, believed to have been in AH 47. However, a similar coin of Istakhr dated 44 is known (see SICA 1, p.13).
