| Reverse description | Fire altar with a suspended ribbon depicted at centre, flanked symmetrically by standing figures of Varhran II and his queen, both facing inward toward the altar; the queen holds a ring. A trefoil arrangement of pellets appears to the left of the altar flames, serving as an ornamental device characteristic of this reign. The scene is rendered in the standard Sasanian fire-altar compositional format, emphasizing the dynasty's Zoroastrian religious identity. Inscriptional Pahlavi legends are present in the field. |
