[[File:Shapurii.jpg|thumb|upright=1.15|Shapur II [[Sasanian coinage of Sindh|coinage of Sindh]]. Such coins were minted in [[Sind]], [[Baluchistan]] and [[Kutch]] in [[India]], as well as coins of his successors down to [[Peroz I]], although the Sasanians probably did not rule there directly.]]
In the area of [[Sindh]], from [[Multan]] to the mouth of the [[Indus river]], an important series of gold coins started to be issued on the model of the coinage of Shapur II, and would continue down to [[Peroz I]].{{sfn|Senior|1991|pp=3-4}}{{sfn|Schindel|2016|pp=127-128}} The coins are not the usual Sasanian imperial type, and the legend around the portrait tends to be degraded [[Middle Persian]] in the [[Pahlavi script]], but they have the [[Brahmi script]] character ''[[Sri]]'' [[File:Gupta_allahabad_shrii.jpg|14px]] (meaning "Lord") in front of the portrait of the King.{{sfn|Schindel|2016|pp=127-128}} The coins suggest some sort of Sasanian control of Sind from the time of Shapur II, and a recognition of Sasanian overlordship,{{sfn|Schindel|2016|pp=127-128}} but the precise extent of the Sasanian presence or influence is unknown.{{sfn|Daryaee|2014|p=137}}
