| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Peroz I facing right, wearing elaborate winged crown surmounted by a korymbos and crescent, with earrings visible at the jaw. The effigy is rendered in the formal Sasanian court tradition, with careful attention to the royal regalia and headdress structure. A Pahlavi inscription encircles the bust in the surrounding field, identifying the monarch in the customary formulaic manner. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A fire altar with suspended lateral ribbons occupies the centre of the field, flanked by two attendants standing in facing inward pose in the established Zoroastrian sacerdotal manner, each bearing a staff or weapon. A crescent and star motif appears above the altar flame. A Pahlavi legend is present in the field, and the overall composition adheres closely to the canonical Sasanian religious reverse type emphasising the sacred Zoroastrian flame. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Peroz I ruled during one of the most militarily catastrophic reigns in Sasanian history. Three separate campaigns against the Hephthalites ended in disaster — twice he was captured and ransomed, stripping the treasury to meet the payments. The third campaign, in 484, killed him outright along with much of his army at the Battle of Herat. Gold coinage from his reign reflects the fiscal strain: documented weight reductions across his type sequence correspond directly to the ransom crises.
The type III/1 classification in Göbl's system marks a specific die pairing within the broader typological sequence Schaaf later refined in SNS. Mint attribution for many Peroz dinars remains contested.
