| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised fire altar depicted at centre, a device directly inherited from Sasanian numismatic tradition and adapted by the Pratihara mint. The altar is shown frontally with a pronounced stepped or columnar shaft surmounted by a flame finial, flanked on the left by a dotted or beaded branch motif possibly representing a palm frond or ritual object. Two circular pellets are visible at the base of the altar, a common feature on Pratihara drachm reverses. The design is struck on an irregular, somewhat buckled flan with flat fields, the overall execution reflecting the progressive stylisation typical of eighth- to tenth-century north Indian billon coinage derived from Sasanian archetypes. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Gurjara-Pratiharas controlled the largest empire in the subcontinent during much of this period, repeatedly blocking Arab expansion eastward from Sindh — a geopolitical fact that shaped which trade networks these coins actually moved through. Billon alloy content varies considerably across the dynasty's two-century span, generally declining as imperial authority fragmented under Rashtrakuta pressure from the Deccan and Pala pressure from Bengal.
Attribution within the series remains contested; many specimens circulated well past their issuing ruler's reign and were restruck by successor states.
