| Reverse description | Central fire altar depicted frontally, flanked by two standing attendants facing inward in the Zoroastrian priestly tradition, each holding a staff or barsom. The sacred flames rise from the altar bowl above a stepped base. A star appears to the left and a crescent to the right of the flames, serving as celestial symbols within the field. The entire design is enclosed within multiple concentric beaded and linear borders, with Pahlavi mint and date inscriptions in the outer margins, following the standard Arab-Sasanian reverse layout. |
