| Beschrijving voorzijde | Effigy of Shapur II facing right, depicted as a draped bust with a distinctive mural crown surmounted by a korymbos — a large hair bundle enclosed in a spherical casing — and adorned with an inner ribbon. The portrait is rendered in the characteristic Sasanian court style, with emphasis on the regal headdress as a mark of royal authority. The field surrounding the bust carries a Pahlavi legend identifying the king. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A fire altar occupies the center of the reverse, its shaft bearing the Pahlavi inscription 'shad' (meaning 'happy' or 'joyful'), with flames rising from the altar bowl and a bust of a figure emerging from within the flames facing left. Two royal attendants flank the altar symmetrically, each wearing a mural crown with korymbos, facing inward as guardians of the sacred fire. The composition reflects standard Sasanian Zoroastrian iconography, emphasizing the dynastic and religious significance of the eternal flame. |
