Reverse description Zoroastrian fire altar depicted centrally, with stylized flames rising from the altar top, flanked on either side by a royal attendant or priest standing in profile facing the altar. A star and crescent symbol appear flanking the flames above the altar head, emblematic of Sasanian dynastic and religious iconography. The regnal year (RY) inscription appears to the left of the altar in Pahlavi script, while the mint abbreviation is placed to the right, both partially legible due to the irregular flan.
Reverse script Psalter Pahlavi
