| Reverse description | Central fire altar of Zoroastrian type flanked by two standing attendants in the Sasanian tradition, closely imitating the reverse design of Hormazd IV drachms. A star and crescent appear flanking the altar flames, standard celestial symbols in Sasanian numismatic iconography. An unclear countermark is applied in the outer margin. The Bactrian mint name inscription appears in the margin, identifying the issuing mint as Balkh. The overall composition faithfully follows the prototype but shows the characteristic stylistic degeneration associated with post-Sasanian imitative coinage of the region. |
