| Reverse description | 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. |
