Beschrijving keerzijde A stepped fire altar shown in profile at center, the sacred flame rising from its top, flanked by two standing attendants rendered in frontal or three-quarter stance. The attendant to the left wears a crown with korymbos, identifying him as of royal or high priestly rank, while the attendant to the right wears a mural crown. An Inscriptional Pahlavi legend surrounds the scene within a beaded border. The composition follows the canonical Sasanian reverse type emphasizing Zoroastrian religious symbolism central to the Sasanian dynastic ideology.

Aanvullende informatie

Wahram I ruled for just three years before his death in 276, a reign short enough that his bronze coinage remains genuinely scarce relative to his silver drachms. The Sasanian bronze denominations of this period — the pashiz and chalkous — occupied the lower end of everyday exchange, and their survival rate reflects that: heavily circulated, often poorly preserved, and underrepresented in major collections. Wahram I had secured his throne partly through Kartir's clerical influence, a dynamic that shaped court politics more than monetary policy.
