== Coins == [[Image:Drachm of Bahram V, Rew-Ardashir mint.jpg|thumb|[[Ancient drachma|Drachma]] of Bahram V, [[Reishahr|Rew-Ardashir]] mint]] Bahram V issued coins in gold, silver, copper and lead. They are (as usual in Sasanian numismatics) identifiable by his special headdress, in this case a [[mural crown]] topped with a [[Korymbos (headgear)|korymbos]] resting on a [[crescent]], and a round hairball in the king's neck. The reverse shows the usual [[fire temple|fire-altar]], watched by two attendants at its sides. A special variant for Bahram V shows the head of the king in the flame upon the altar. The title of Bahram V on his coins was the typical ''Mazdēsn bay Warahrān šāhān šāh Ērān ud Anērān kēčihr az yazdān'' ("the Mazda-worshiping, divine Bahram, King of Kings of Iran(ians) and non-Iran(ians), whose image/brilliance is from the gods").{{sfn|Schindel|2013|p=836}}{{sfn|Shayegan|2013|p=805}} On some of rare coins minted in [[Pars (Sasanian province)|Pars]], he is also seen with the title of ''kirbakkar'' ("beneficent").{{sfn|Schindel|2013|p=837}}
