| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bust of Peroz I facing right, depicted in a stylized Kushano-Sasanian manner with a prominent diadem or crown adorned with pellets or a beaded rim. The effigy is rendered in a crude, provincial style characteristic of Indo-Sasanian coinage of the mid-third century AD. The portrait occupies the central field, with the neck and shoulders visible, showing traces of drapery. The overall artistic execution reflects the transitional blending of Sasanian and Kushan iconographic traditions. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized fire altar depicted in frontal view, rendered in the characteristic stepped or tiered architectural form common to Kushano-Sasanian religious coinage. The altar, a central symbol of Zoroastrian worship, dominates the reverse field and is flanked by attendant figures or column-like elements on either side. The design is executed in a bold but crude provincial style, with summary detail typical of hammered billon issues of the Indo-Sasanian series. Traces of a surrounding legend or decorative border may be present in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Peroz I ruled the Kushano-Sasanian Kingdom as a subordinate king under Shapur I, installed after the Sasanian conquest of the Kushan territories in Bactria sometime around the 240s. These issues represent the earliest stratum of Kushano-Sasanian coinage — a deliberate hybridization of Sasanian royal authority with Kushan monetary traditions that the new administration found too entrenched to simply displace. The billon content itself signals fiscal stress at the provincial level; the central Sasanian court was not subsidizing this mint with silver.
