Beschrijving keerzijde Central fire altar with stepped base and blazing flames rising from the bowl, flanked by two standing attendants facing inward, each rendered in summary Sasanian style with hands raised toward the flame. A star and crescent device appears flanking the flames above the altar, a standard Zoroastrian votive motif on Sasanian and Sasanian-derived coinage. The composition closely follows late Sasanian reverse types but with the provincial schematization characteristic of Tokharistan imitations. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded circular border.

Aanvullende informatie

The Tokhara Yabghus governed a successor territory carved from the eastern remnants of the Kushano-Sasanian sphere, nominally subordinate to the Western Türk Qaghanate but functionally autonomous across much of Bactria. These anonymous drachms — struck without a named ruler — reflect that ambiguity of authority: the issuing power was real enough to mint silver, but not stable or confident enough to put a name to it. The Göbl Hun series classifies them precisely because they defy cleaner dynastic categorization.
