| Reverse description | Zoroastrian fire altar depicted in the center, shown with a stepped pedestal and a flame rising from the altar top, flanked by two standing attendant figures facing inward in adoration, each rendered in full-length robes in the Sasanian courtly style. The attendant to the left wears a crown identifying the king, while the figure to the right bears a similar royal headdress, consistent with Sasanian dynastic iconography. The mint mark and regnal year appear in Inscriptional Pahlavi in the left and right fields respectively. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded border. |
