This paper presents the micro-XRF analysis of over 100 Sasanian billon and copper coins from the collections of the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels, Belgium. This study discovered that some coins, thought to be copper, were actually billon coins. Furthermore, it illustrated the continuity in use and recipe of small copper coins from the Parthian into the Sasanian period. Previous research into the elemental composition of copper coins from the Sasanian period only spanned the period 224–309 CE, while this paper encompasses the whole period until the fall of the empire in 651 CE. The link with lead coins is also discussed.

来自比利时布鲁塞尔皇家艺术与历史博物馆藏品的萨桑铜币和比隆币—使用μXRF半定量分析的见解

本文介绍了来自比利时布鲁塞尔皇家艺术与历史博物馆收藏的100多个萨萨尼亚币和铜币的微型XRF分析。这项研究发现，有些硬币（被认为是铜币）实际上是比隆硬币。此外，它还说明了从帕提亚时代到撒萨尼亚时期的小型铜币的使用和配方的连续性。先前对撒萨人时期铜币元素组成的研究仅涵盖了224-309 CE，而本文涵盖了整个帝国直至651 CE帝国陷落。还讨论了与铅币的链接。
