Correct Mint on Sassanid Drachm?

3 posts
I recently picked up a Drachm from the Sassanian Empire and put in some time to research it to be able to correctly enter it into my collection.

I found it to be this coin: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces33699.html
And through some research of mint marks of the time to be a Veh-Ardashir (Seleucia) mint issue.
    

And here's a closeup on the mint mark

Basically I'm just wondering if I'm correct in my research or if not, help in determining what it really is.
Thanks a lot guys!  :D
My gut feeling is that the mint is WYH (Veh-Kavad) and not WH (Veh-Ardashir).  This can be seen in the Pavlahi inscription.  Read the inscription from right to left.  It should look like this:

You know what, now that I look at it, it really seems that it is the WYH (Veh-Kavad) mint mark rather than the WH (Veh-Ardashir). Thanks a lot Quant!  :D
