| Obverse description | Facing bust of King Khusro II (Khosrau II) depicted frontally, wearing elaborately decorated earrings and a distinctive winged crown surmounted by a crescent and floral finial, with a wreath of foliage framing the headdress. The king is shown draped in a beaded necklace with multiple strands and a central pendant, reflecting the rich regalia of Sasanian royal iconography. Inscriptional Pahlavi legends flank the bust to the left and right within the field, reading 'Khosrau, king of kings, may he prosper.' A beaded border encircles the entire design. |
