Aversbeschreibung Bust of the king facing right, wearing the third crown type of Peroz I, adorned with two lateral wings and surmounted by a crescent-and-globe device intersecting a pearl diadem. Two prominent points appear above the effigy, and four globules frame the overall composition at cardinal positions. Bactrian inscriptions appear in the field above the right wing and outside the inner circle at approximately six o'clock. The portrait reflects the Sasanian-derived artistic tradition as adapted by Hephthalite engravers.

Reversbeschreibung Stylized fire altar depicted centrally between two attendant figures in a schematic rendering characteristic of Hephthalite coinage. A star occupies the left field and a crescent the right field above the altar composition. Bactrian inscriptions appear at approximately four o'clock within the design, with a monogram positioned at approximately eight o'clock. The overall treatment closely follows Sasanian reverse iconography while displaying the flatter, more abstracted engraving style typical of Hephthalite issues.

Zusätzliche Informationen

The Napki Malka series was produced in the eastern Iranian world during the period when Hephthalite power was collapsing under combined Sasanian and Western Turkic pressure — the Gök Turk alliance with Khosrow I effectively destroyed the Hephthalite confederation around 560 AD. These coins continued to circulate and be imitated long after any coherent Hephthalite political authority had dissolved, making the attribution of late issues to a specific ruler or mint essentially impossible.

Göbl's classification system for this material remains the primary reference, though subsequent scholarship has questioned whether "Napki Malka" denotes a personal name or a title.
