| Beschrijving keerzijde | A fire altar, the central symbol of Zoroastrian religious iconography, depicted without attendant figures flanking its sides. The altar is decorated with hanging ribbons or fillets, a distinguishing feature of this type. The structure is rendered schematically, with stylized flames rising from the altar top. The field is plain, with no legend or exergual inscription present, consistent with the early copper coinage of Ardashir I. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ardashir I spent the first years after defeating Artabanus IV consolidating Sasanian authority over former Parthian territory, and copper coinage of this type reflects the administrative scramble of that consolidation — denominations and weights were not yet standardized, and the Göbl type VII falls within a phase when the mint attribution itself remains contested among specialists. The SNS Schaaf references spanning four consecutive catalogue numbers (45–48) indicate meaningful die variation within this type, not merely editorial grouping.
