| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zoroastrian fire altar at center, flanked by two attendant figures standing facing inward, each holding a staff or barsom. The altar is depicted in the classic Sasanian manner with a stepped base and flames rising from the top. Marginal inscriptions in Pahlavi script appear in the outer legend band, recording the regnal year and mint name in accordance with late Sasanian administrative coinage practice. The entire design is enclosed within a double beaded border, with small crescents and pellets positioned at the cardinal points. |

The Arab-Sasanian series emerged from a practical problem: the early Caliphate had no mint infrastructure and a population that trusted Sasanian silver. Conquerors simply continued striking coins in the name of the last Zoroastrian king, Yazdigerd III, even as his empire collapsed around him. Yazdigerd himself fled eastward and was murdered near Merv around 651, but coins bearing his image were already circulating under entirely different political authority.
These anonymous issues — carrying no governor's name — are among the earliest, predating the administrative reforms that would later add Arabic mint names and dating.
