Reversbeschreibung	Two standing figures rendered in low relief, facing one another or slightly turned, likely representing a royal or religious investiture scene in the Parthian-Sasanian iconographic tradition. The figures appear to wear robes or cloaks, and the composition is enclosed within a roughly circular border of pellets or dots. The overall execution is schematic, consistent with local bronze coinage of the Merv oasis during the mid-third century CE.

Zusätzliche Informationen	Merv — ancient Margiana, now in modern Turkmenistan — sat on a critical node of the overland trade routes connecting Parthia's successors with Bactria and beyond. This bronze issue falls squarely within the chaotic mid-third century, when Sasanian expansion under Shapur I was dismantling local dynastic autonomy across the eastern Iranian world. The Merv oasis retained a degree of civic minting independence during this window, producing small fractional bronzes that circulated locally rather than across any imperial system. Alram 1218A is a scarce citation, documented within a narrow typological sequence for the region.
