| Reverse description | Central device depicting a Zoroastrian fire altar, rendered schematically in the Sasanian tradition, with stylized flames rising from the altar table supported by a stepped base. Two attendant figures or lateral elements flank the altar, consistent with the standard reverse type of Sasanian copper pashiz issues. The Pahlavi mint abbreviation ART appears in the field, denoting the mint of Ardashir-Khurrah (Ardaxsir-Xwarrah, modern Firuzabad). The design is executed in low relief on an irregularly shaped flan typical of hammered Sasanian bronze coinage. |
