Photographer’s Note
Two huge replicas of PErsian coins, Milad conference center, Tehran.
The upper one is a Sassanid coin which depicts a fire altar with profiles of Ahuramazda and the king on its sides as the flame keepers.
The Sassanid era is considered to be one of the most important and influential historical periods in Iran, witnessing the highest achievements of Persian civilization. Many notable pieces of Pahlavi literature were written and Sassanid music reached its zenith. Many sports such as polo also emerged as pastimes for royalty in this period.
