| Obverse description | Bust of the Sasanian king Khusro II facing right in the Sasanian royal tradition, depicted in high relief with elaborate crown surmounted by a crescent and wings, and detailed facial features including a prominent beard. The bust is surrounded by multiple concentric beaded border rings characteristic of late Sasanian and Arab-Sasanian coinage. Pahlavi legends appear in the inner field reading GDH APZWT and APDWLA Y AMIRAN, denoting the governor's name and title, while an Arabic bismillah inscription appears in the margin, marking the early Islamic adoption of this coinage type. |
