| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Zoroastrian fire altar with flowing ribbons occupies the center of the field, with flames rising from the altar's basin in which a royal bust facing right is depicted. Two attendant figures flank the altar symmetrically, each wearing a plain crown with korymbos and standing in profile, serving as guardians of the sacred fire in the traditional Sasanian numismatic iconography. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ardashir II ruled for just four years before being deposed by the nobility — ancient sources suggest he was forcibly removed and blinded, the standard Sasanian method of disqualifying a rival from the throne without killing him outright. His coinage is consequently scarce, and the Ostenl mint attribution places this piece among a regionally distinct group identified through die studies rather than any explicit mint mark on the coin itself.
