| Reverse description | Central Sasanian-style fire altar depicted frontally, with a stepped base and a flame rising from the altar top, flanked on each side by a standing attendant figure in Zoroastrian priestly dress. A crescent symbol appears above the altar structure. The composition closely follows the standard Sasanian reverse type derived from Wahram IV drachms, though rendered in a schematized and somewhat degenerate manner consistent with Alchon Hun imitative coinage. The reverse field shows no legible subsidiary inscription on this example. |
