| Reverse description | Central Zoroastrian fire altar depicted frontally, with a stepped base and flames rising from the altar cup at center. Two robed priests or attendants (magi) stand on either side of the altar, each facing inward toward the flame and holding a barsom (sacred bundle of twigs) in the outer hand; both figures wear mural crowns and court dress. The entire scene is enclosed within a double beaded border. Pahlavi mint abbreviation and regnal year appear in the left and right fields respectively, with additional Pahlavi legends in the outer margin at three and nine o'clock positions. |
