| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Zoroastrian fire altar with pendant ribbons occupies the center of the field, its sacred flame flanked by a star and crescent in the upper register. Two royal attendants or fire-priests stand in adoration to either side of the altar, each rendered in profile facing inward in the canonical Sasanian style. The composition is symmetrically arranged and embodies the Zoroastrian religious ideology central to Sasanian dynastic legitimacy. The reverse follows the standard iconographic program established for Sasanian gold dinars throughout the dynasty. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Peroz I ruled during one of the most catastrophic periods in Sasanian history. His reign saw repeated, costly campaigns against the Hephthalites — the so-called White Huns pressing from the northeast — which ended in his death on the battlefield around 484, the first Sasanian king of kings to fall in combat against a foreign enemy. The treasury was so depleted by these wars that Peroz was forced to pay tribute to the Hephthalites between campaigns, borrowing funds from Byzantium to do so.
Gold dinars of Peroz are scarcer than those of more stable reigns, a direct consequence of that fiscal strain.
