| Reverse description | Fire altar with attendants in the Sasanian tradition, flanked by two standing guardians facing inward toward the altar flame. Pahlavi inscriptions appear in the fields denoting the mint and regnal year. Multiple concentric beaded borders frame the central design, consistent with Arab-Sasanian reverse typology derived from late Sasanian prototypes. |
