| Reverse description | Dynastic fire altar at center, depicted in frontal view with a stepped base and flames rising from the altar table, flanked by two attendant figures standing in adoration facing inward, each rendered in a stiff, frontal posture consistent with Sasanian-derived ceremonial iconography. The composition closely follows Sasanian reverse types, reflecting the Kidarite adoption of Zoroastrian royal symbolism. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. The field shows the characteristic flat, hammered surface of a struck silver drachm. |
