| Reverse description | A Zoroastrian fire altar depicted centrally, with two attendant figures standing facing one another on either side of the altar, each wearing Sasanian court dress and distinctive crowns. The scene is enclosed within a double beaded ring border. Crescent-and-star symbols appear in the field at the three and nine o'clock positions outside the inner ring, and a crescent device is visible at both the top and bottom of the border, following the standard late Sasanian reverse iconographic convention. The mint signature and regnal year appear in Inscriptional Pahlavi in the outer margin. |
