| Additional information |
Buran — more formally Purandokht — was the elder daughter of Khosrow II and one of only two women to rule the Sasanian Empire outright. Her reign in 632 lasted mere months, squeezed between the chaos of over a dozen claimants cycling through the throne in the decade following Khosrow's murder by his own son. That she struck coinage at all speaks to the administrative machinery still grinding forward even as the empire was collapsing from within. Arab forces under the early caliphate were already pressing into Mesopotamia when this piece was produced.
