| Reverse description | Fire altar with a ribbon or tie draped from its shaft, centrally positioned and featuring a trefoil of pellets on the altar shaft, with flames rising from the altar top accompanied by flanking symbols. Two royal attendants stand on either side of the altar, each wearing a mural crown; the left attendant bears a korymbos in addition to the mural crown, distinguishing the two figures. Inscriptional Pahlavi legends appear in the field, recording the mint and regnal year. The composition follows the canonical Sasanian reverse type symbolizing Zoroastrian sacred fire and royal devotion. |
