| Reverse description | Central fire altar with a flame emerging from the top, flanked on either side by two standing attendants facing inward toward the altar, rendered in the conventional Sasanian iconographic style. The attendants are depicted in profile with arms extended toward the altar, a motif emblematic of Zoroastrian religious observance and standard on Sasanian coinage of this period. The design is contained within a circular border, with the figures occupying the full field of the flan. |
