| Reverse description | Central Zoroastrian fire altar depicted in stylized form, flanked by two attendants standing in profile facing the altar, a design directly inherited from Sasanian drachm coinage. The altar and attendants are rendered in low relief within a double circular border. Crescent and star symbols appear in the left and right fields respectively. A Pahlavi marginal legend encircles the design, recording mint and regnal information consistent with Arab-Sasanian issues from Zaranj in Sistan. |
