| Reverse description | Zoroastrian fire altar depicted in the centre of the field, with one attendant standing on each side facing inward toward the altar, closely following the iconographic tradition of Sasanian imperial coinage. The attendants are shown in profile, each holding a staff or sword. The composition reflects the strong Sasanian cultural and religious influence on Alchon Hunnic coinage of this period. |
