| Obverse description | Sasanian-style royal bust facing right, wearing a distinctive helmet surmounted by a 'weather-vane' crest, rendered in the tradition of late Sasanian coinage. To the right of the bust, an Arabic inscription appears in the field, while the second and third quadrants of the marginal border carry additional Arabic legends. The overall design reflects the Arab-Hephthalite synthesis of Sasanian iconographic conventions with early Islamic epigraphy. The bust is depicted with characteristic Sasanian stylistic detail, including facial features and armoured shoulders visible at the lower margin. |
