| Reverse description | A Zoroastrian fire altar of elongated form occupies the center of the field, with flames rising from its stepped platform. The altar is flanked on each side by a standing royal attendant, each wearing a diadem with flowing ribbons and a mural crown, facing inward toward the altar. Pellets appear in the lower left and lower right fields adjacent to the attendants. A circular Pahlavi legend surrounds the design within a beaded border. |
