| Reverse description | Central Zoroastrian fire altar depicted frontally, with flames rising from the altar cup, flanked by two standing attendants dressed in full priestly robes, each facing the altar and holding a barsom bundle. The attendants stand on a platform base beneath the altar. Four floral or trefoil ornaments are placed in the four cardinal positions outside the beaded inner border, serving as decorative margin devices. Inscriptional Pahlavi legends appear in the field to the left and right, recording the mint name and regnal year of issue. |
