| Reverse description | A fire altar with pendant ribbons occupies the central field, flanked symmetrically by two standing attendants in profile, each facing inward toward the sacred flame in the Zoroastrian tradition. A star and crescent device appears to either side of the flames above the altar table, emphasizing the religious significance of the design. The composition is enclosed within a triple border, with star-in-crescent motifs distributed throughout the outer margin, mirroring the decorative program of the obverse. The reverse lettering in Inscriptional Pahlavi script records the mint signature and regnal year, positioned in the customary fields to the left and right of the attendants. |
