| Obverse description | Debased Sasanian-style royal bust facing right, rendered in the late Sasanian artistic tradition with heavily stylized regalia and coiffure. The portrait is executed in low relief on an irregularly flan, retaining the general conventions of Sasanian portraiture including a prominent crown or headdress. The surrounding field carries marginal decoration or a border of pellets or lines in keeping with late Sasanian and early Arab-Sasanian coinage typology. The design reflects the transitional period of early Islamic coinage, combining inherited Sasanian iconographic elements with nascent Islamic epigraphic additions. |
