| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stepped fire altar with pendant ribbons occupies the central field, its shaft bearing a rightward-facing bust of Vālaxš. Two attendants stand in profile flanking the altar, each facing inward toward the sacred flame. A star and crescent appear in the upper field flanking the flames atop the altar, serving as celestial symbols of royal and divine authority. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Balash reigned for just three years, a short and troubled rule bookended by dynastic conflict with his brothers. He came to power only after Peroz I was killed — along with much of the Sasanian nobility and army — in a catastrophic defeat against the Hephthalites in 484, a battle so devastating that the empire was forced into tributary payments afterward. Balash's coinage reflects the administrative continuity maintained despite that collapse, with the obol denomination serving the small-change needs of a kingdom still functioning under Hephthalite pressure.
