| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central fire altar flanked by two attendants standing facing inward, each bearing a staff or sword, rendered in the standard Sasanian fire-altar design inherited by Arab-Sasanian coinage. The altar is depicted with flames rising from the top and is set between the two figures on a stepped base. The scene is enclosed within multiple concentric beaded and linear borders, with marginal Pahlavi inscriptions in the outer fields denoting the mint and regnal year. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
These early Arab-Sasanian issues were struck in the immediate aftermath of the Islamic conquest of Persia, with Arab governors retaining the existing Sasanian monetary infrastructure almost wholesale. The Khusraw II bust type was preserved not out of aesthetic deference but practical necessity — the local population recognized it, and trade required continuity. No caliph's name appears; authority was implied through control of the mint, not inscription.
The anonymous character of this type makes precise attribution difficult, as multiple governors across different former Sasanian mints struck nearly identical coins during this window.
