Beschrijving voorzijde Sasanian-style draped bust of the Peroz I type facing right, wearing an elaborate winged and crescent-surmounted crown with a globular finial at the apex, rendered in the degenerate Hephthalite imitative tradition. The facial features are boldly struck but increasingly schematized relative to authentic Sasanian prototypes, with pronounced pellet beading visible along the inner border. Flowing ribbons or diadem ties extend behind the crown, and partial marginal inscriptions in degraded Middle Persian script appear in the surrounding field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner border set against a plain outer rim, characteristic of Hephthalite workshop output from Bactria.

Beschrijving keerzijde Zoroastrian fire altar depicted centrally with flames rising from the altar top, flanked by two attendants standing in profile facing the altar, rendered in the schematized Hephthalite imitative style derived from Peroz I Sasanian prototypes. A star and crescent device flank the flames above the altar shaft, echoing the celestial symbolism of standard Sasanian royal coinage. The Bactrian letter 'M' (denoting Malka, meaning King) appears to the left of the left-hand attendant, in keeping with the convention observed on authentic Peroz issues. A mint inscription in Bactrian script appears to the right, frequently blundered in Hephthalite workshop production, here reading Boxlo (Balkh), enclosed within a beaded inner border.
