| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bust of Shapur I facing right, depicted with a full curled beard and elaborate coiffure with hair dressed in large globular locks. The king wears a distinctive korymbos headdress — a large inflated orb of hair enclosed within a diadem — surmounted by a mural crown with crenellations and a Sasanian eagle or finial at the apex, with long ribbons or diadem ties falling behind. He is draped in royal attire with a beaded necklace visible at the collar. The legend in Pahlavi script encircles the bust within a beaded border, reading: mazdēsn bay Šābuhr šāhān šāh Ērān kē čihr az yaz(a)dān ('The Mazda-worshipping Lord, Shapur, King of Kings of the Iranians, whose essence is from the gods'). |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Zoroastrian fire altar, shown as a stepped pedestal surmounted by a tiered altar with flames rising prominently from the top, occupies the centre of the field. Two royal attendants or priest-guardians stand facing inward on either side of the altar, each wearing a crown and holding a long staff or barsom bundle; their posture is frontal with legs slightly apart. A short Pahlavi legend appears in the right field, reading 'NWRA ZY šhpwhry' ('fire of Shapur'). The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, characteristic of early Sasanian coinage. |
