| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bust of Hormizd I facing right, wearing an elaborate Sasanian-style mural crown with voluminous hair flowing behind; the king's facial features are rendered in a stylized manner typical of early Indo-Sasanian coinage. A cluster of pellets or a tamgha device appears to the left of the bust in the field. The portrait retains the characteristic Sasanian royal iconography adapted to the local Indo-Sasanian artistic idiom, with visible wear consistent with circulation. No legible legend is discernible in the field around the bust on this specimen. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A fire altar is depicted at center, with the sacred flame rising from the altar table; a royal or divine attendant figure stands behind the altar facing left, rendered in a schematic Indo-Sasanian style. Ribbons or streamers may be visible flanking the altar, a common motif on Sasanian-influenced coinage symbolizing divine investiture. The composition is typical of the Zoroastrian fire-altar reverse type found on Sasanian and Indo-Sasanian bronzes of the mid-third century AD. The overall style is crude compared to metropolitan Sasanian issues, reflecting provincial die-cutting traditions. Remnants of a Pahlavi legend may appear in the surrounding field, though largely illegible on this worn specimen. |
