The silver hemidrachms (or half drachms) of the Silk Road Hoard were hand struck in Tabaristan, the oldest human settlement in Iran and onetime center of Persian culture and the Zoroastrian religion.
Commanding the southern shore of the Caspian Sea, the kingdom of Tabaristan was situated along the great Silk Road – an ancient network of trade routes that stretched over 4,600 miles from China to the Mediterranean Sea. The path first emerged from the profitable Chinese silk trade of the Han dynasty and then continued westward. The route was active for more than 1,500 years and played an essential role in the economic and cultural development of many civilizations.
These ancient coins were minted during the Dark Ages; a time when written record was scarce. The most important thing about coins from this region was their universal recognition of the coin in an illiterate population and their continued acceptance by merchants and traders working the Great Silk Road.
