| Reversbeschreibung | Central field features a fire altar depicted in a schematic, elongated form typical of Kushano-Sasanian derivative coinage, rendered in low relief with visible wear. The altar is flanked by attendant figures or decorative elements, though detail is obscured by the irregular flan and hammered fabric. A dotted border frames the design. Pahlavi legend appears in the surrounding field, referencing the ruler's titles. The overall composition follows Sasanian reverse conventions adapted for Alchon Hun coinage. |

The Alchon Huns under Khingila pushed into the Indian subcontinent in the second half of the 5th century, displacing the last Gupta-affiliated rulers from the Gandharan and Punjab regions. This bilingual type — combining Bactrian script with Brahmi — reflects the administrative pragmatism of a conquering group that needed its coinage legible to subject populations still operating within Indo-Iranian scribal traditions.
Göbl's EM 80-81 places this issue at the earliest phase of consolidated Alchon rule in the subcontinent, before later types abandoned the bilingual format entirely.
