| Reverse description | Central Zoroastrian fire altar depicted in full, with flames rising from the altar top, rendered with characteristic Sasanian stylization. Two attendant figures stand flanking the altar, each facing inward; both are shown in court dress and appear to carry staffs or swords, serving as guardians of the sacred flame. Pellets or globes are visible in the lower field on either side of the altar base. Inscriptional Pahlavi legends appear in the right and left fields, giving the mint name and regnal year. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
