Reversbeschreibung A Zoroastrian fire altar of canonical Sasanian type occupies the center of the field, depicted with a stepped base and flames rising from the altar table. Flanking the altar shaft, the Pahlavi legend reads 'NWRA ZY ʾrthštr' (ādur ī Ardaxšēr), meaning 'Fire of Ardashir,' inscribed to the left and right of the altar respectively. The reverse design is executed in a plain, unadorned field with no additional attendant figures, consistent with the early coinage type IIIa/3b of Ardashir I's reign. The overall style is characteristic of the formative phase of Sasanian numismatic art.

Zusätzliche Informationen

Ardashir I founded the Sasanian dynasty by defeating the last Arsacid king, Ardavan IV, at the Battle of Hormozdgan in 224 AD — ending nearly five centuries of Parthian rule. His early coinage was issued while administrative and monetary conventions were still being negotiated, drawing on Parthian weight standards even as the political break was total. The type IIIa/3b classification in the SNS system reflects a transitional phase in die development during his reign, before the series settled into the more rigid typological consistency that would define later Sasanian issues.
