Nikolaus Schindel, « Maryse Blet-Lemarquand. La question récurrente de la raison d'être de ’pd sur le monnayage de Khusrō II (590-628) : étude préliminaire », Abstracta Iranica, ID : 10.4000/abstractairanica.40463
The author analyzes drachmas of the Sasanian king Khusro II (590-628) that bear the Pehlevi words ’pd (conventionally read as “wonderful”) in the obverse margin. Since the majority of the ’pd coins have a silver content of about 99% compared with 95% of the coins without ’pd, the word was probably placed there by the minting authority to denote pure silver drachmas.
