I think Manzikert may be on holidays. You may want to send him a PM in due time.

Magnificent detail on that coin! The wings on the crown are typical for Peroz and Khusro II, I believe.

Hi Coin-Lover, that's been a long time !
I think your coin is an anonymous "Khushro II" type from the beginning of the Arab-Sasanian coinage. In the margin below the bust "Bismillah".
The text flanking the attendants has the mintname and year of issue. There is a small introduction on how to read these for the earlier coins here.

Sure Tony, any idea about the date on this coin.

Anything further on this coin

[Manzikert]

As Peter assumed, I was on holiday when this was posted, but I had a look at it when I got back, couldn't make much of it, thought I'd have another look later, and then promptly forgot about it 

I've had another look at it, and I'm pretty sure it is a coin in the name of Yedzigird III, and of a common posthumous type, the mintmark being SK for Sakastan/Sijistan, and the date is 20 PYE (AH 31, 652 AD).

My apologies for the delay
