Reverse description Fire altar depicted in the center of the field, rendered in a schematic, highly stylized manner characteristic of Persis coinage. Flanking the altar are attendant figures or decorative elements, consistent with Zoroastrian religious iconography common to the dynasts of Persis. An Aramaic inscription appears around the design, likely identifying the ruler. The engraving is compact and somewhat crude owing to the small flan size.
