| Reverse description | Fire altar with two attendant figures flanking the altar, rendered in the traditional Sasanian style. The altar is depicted with flames rising from the top, centrally placed between the two standing attendants. Pahlavi inscriptions appear in the margin and field identifying the mint and regnal information, consistent with standard Arab-Sasanian drachm reverse types derived from late Sasanian prototypes. The overall composition closely follows the Sasanian fire-altar coinage convention. |
