| Reverse description | A standing military figure is depicted full-face, clad in armour and wearing a helmet with a 'weather-vane' crest, closely related to the Hephthalite iconographic tradition. The figure holds a spear vertically in the left hand while the right hand rests upon the pommel of a sheathed sword at the waist. In the field, a Pahlawi inscription reading ANBYR appears to the left, with the regnal date to the right. The first and second quadrants of the marginal legend carry a Hephthalite inscription, while the third and fourth quadrants bear an Arabic legend. |
