| Obverse description | Stylized Sasanian royal bust facing right, wearing a distinctive winged mural crown in the late Sasanian tradition. The effigy is rendered in the inherited Sasanian artistic style, enclosed within two concentric border lines. The margin is decorated with stars set within crescents. Following the bismillah formula, four pellets appear after the Arabic inscription 'bism Allah' in the field. |
