| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bust of Yazdgerd I facing right, wearing the distinctive Sasanian royal crown adorned with a crescent and globe finial; a fire altar is depicted in the field before the king's face, consistent with Sasanian religious iconography. The effigy is rendered in low relief typical of hammered lead pashiz coinage of the period. |

Lead pashiz issues of Yazdgerd I occupy an awkward position in Sasanian monetary history — the base-metal coinage was never prestige currency, and most examples circulated hard before being discarded. Yazdgerd I himself was an anomaly among Sasanian rulers: his relatively tolerant policies toward Christians and Jews earned him the epithet "the Sinner" from Zoroastrian clergy, who considered his reign a theological embarrassment.
The lead fabric is notoriously fragile, which accounts for the high attrition rate among surviving specimens.
