| Reverse description | Central Zoroastrian fire altar, depicted in the traditional Sasanian manner, flanked by two standing priestly attendants facing inward with hands raised in reverence. The flames of the altar are surmounted by a crescent and star motif. Marginal Pahlavi inscriptions appear within the border, and crescent symbols are positioned in the quarters of the field, closely following the standard reverse type of late Sasanian drachms. |
