| Reverse description | Central fire altar with two attendants flanking the altar in the Sasanian tradition, each standing facing inward toward the flame. The altar is depicted in stylized form with the sacred fire issuing from the top. The composition is framed by multiple concentric circular borders, with Arabic marginal legends occupying the outer ring and pellets or annulets at the cardinal points in the field, consistent with Arab-Sasanian drachms struck at Sijistan. |
