| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central fire altar flanked by two attendant figures standing in profile, a design directly inherited from the Sasanian zoroastrian tradition. The altar is depicted with flames rising from the top, rendered in the stylized linear manner typical of Arab-Sasanian drachms. Two concentric beaded borders encircle the central device. Pahlavi mint and regnal date inscription appears in the margin, with additional Arabic religious formula incorporated into the legend consistent with Umayyad administrative practice. |

Arab-Sasanian coinage of this period represents the transitional phase before Abd al-Malik's currency reform fully displaced Sasanian-style issues across the eastern provinces. Khalid b. Abi Khalid governed as a regional official under the Umayyads, and his name appearing on the marginal inscription places this coin within a brief administrative window before purely epigraphic Islamic coinage became mandatory policy. The reform pressure was already building — al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf was aggressively standardizing the east during exactly these years.
The weight sits close to the established Sasanian dirham standard, though regional mints in this period showed measurable variation as Arab administrators took over from Persian mint workers.
