| Reverse description | Central Zoroastrian fire altar depicted in full, with a tall stepped base and a prominently blazing flame rising from the altar top. Two royal attendants or priests stand facing the altar on either side, each wearing Sasanian court dress including a crown with korymbos, and holding what appears to be a barsom (ritual bundle of rods) or sword. Short Pahlavi inscriptions appear in the fields to the left and right of the altar. The reverse is framed by a beaded border, consistent with standard Sasanian gold coinage of the early 4th century. |
