| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stepped fire altar depicted in the center of the field, with three pellets visible on the upper portion of the altar's flame receptacle. The altar is flanked by two standing royal attendants in full frontal posture: the left attendant wears a crown surmounted by a korymbos, while the right attendant bears a radiate crown. The composition reflects the Zoroastrian religious iconography standard to Sasanian coinage. An Inscriptional Pahlavi legend occupies the surrounding field. |

Wahram I ruled for only three years before dying of illness in 276 AD, making his coinage relatively short-lived by Sasanian standards. He came to power in disputed circumstances — passed over initially in favor of his nephew Hormizd I, he ultimately secured the throne with Zoroastrian priestly backing, a political debt that almost certainly shaped his religious policies during his brief reign.
The SNS Iran Ib/2B reference places this among the earlier die groupings of his issue, before the series shows the subtle style shifts visible in later specimens.
