Under Shapur III and Bahram IV, the administrative program for [[Sasanian coinage]] substantially changed. More coins were minted, with administrative areas often producing dies for several types of mints.{{sfn|Schindel|2013|p=818}} Shapur III was one of the few Sasanian kings to mint coins of himself not wearing a crown and ''[[Korymbos (headgear)|korymbos]]'', but only a [[diadem]]. This demonstrates that the diadem was the most important [[headgear]] of the Sasanian king.{{sfn|Shayegan|2013|p=832}} On his coins, he used the typical title of ''Mazdēsn bay Šābuhr šāhān šāh Ērān ud Anērān kēčihr az yazdān'' ("the Mazda-worshiping, divine Shapur, 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}}
