| Reverse description | A fire altar depicted centrally, flanked symmetrically by two female attendants rendered in the stylised Indo-Sasanian manner; each attendant wears a necklace, and their lower bodies are rendered as solid skirt-like forms. The inner hands of the attendants merge with the altar structure, while their outer hands hang downward toward the border. The sacred fire atop the altar is represented by an arrangement of pellets surmounted by upward-radiating lines. The border replicates the conjoined pellet design found on the obverse. |
