| Obverse description | Stylized bust of a Sasanian ruler facing right in the Sasanian tradition, depicted with an elaborate crown or mural headdress with wings or ribbons, rendered in the characteristic late Sasanian artistic style. The face is shown in profile with distinct linear features typical of Arab-Sasanian coinage. Circular marginal legends in Pahlavi script surround the bust within a beaded border. Small annulets or symbols appear in the field flanking the portrait. The design reflects the continuation of Sasanian iconographic conventions under Abbasid gubernatorial authority in Tabaristan. |
