Reverse description Standard Sasanian-derived fire altar flanked by two standing attendants, one on each side, facing the altar in formal hieratic posture. To the right of the altar, a regnal year notation reading TLYN (year 2) is inscribed. A blundered or partially legible mint name, interpreted as referring to Zabulistan, appears to the right in the field. The overall composition closely follows late Sasanian reverse conventions but is rendered with the characteristic degeneration seen in post-Sasanian imitative coinage of Tokharistan.
