| Obverse description | Bust of the king facing right in three-quarter view, adorned with earrings and a winged crown surmounted by a star and crescent, rendered in the characteristic late Sasanian court style. Two stars flank the royal effigy in the upper field. A Middle Persian legend encircles the bust within a beaded border, invoking the prosperity and divine favor of Hormizd. |
