| Beschrijving voorzijde | Effigy of Varhran II (Bahram II) facing right, rendered in high relief in the Sasanian hammered tradition. The king wears a distinctive winged crown surmounted by a korymbos — the characteristic Sasanian royal hair globe — with a symbol positioned above the wing. The portrait displays the typical bold, stylized profile of early Sasanian royal coinage, with visible facial features and royal regalia emphasizing dynastic legitimacy. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A fire altar, emblematic of Zoroastrian state religion, occupies the central field, depicted with flames rising from the altar top and a symbol placed upon the altar itself. Flanking the altar on either side stand two attendants, each wearing a winged crown with korymbos, rendered in the formal, frontal Sasanian style. The composition is symmetrical and hieratic, reflecting the sacred and political significance of the fire cult within the Sasanian court. This standard reverse type, found consistently on Bahram II coinage, underscores the close identification of royal authority with Zoroastrian priesthood. |
