Kawad may have been a local governor of Hormizd, as the bust appears to be of Hormizd, but the insciption on the coin reads Kawad. The coins are scarce to rare, since it is hard to find coins with an identifiable legend. On this coin, we see clearly the whole legend KaBoo (the last being a small Greek delta). |
