| 背面描述 | Reverse displays a highly stylized and degenerate fire altar flanked by two attendants, derived from the standard Sasanian drachm reverse type, here reduced to schematic symbols on the irregular copper flan. The altar and flanking figures are rendered with considerable abstraction, consistent with Kidarite imitative coinage struck for local circulation. A swastika-like symbol or tamgha mark is visible in the right field, a device frequently encountered on Kidarite issues and indicative of dynastic identity. Remnants of a debased Pahlavi inscription are present but largely illegible due to the crude striking and heavy surface corrosion. |

The Kidarites occupied a peculiar position in late 4th-century Central Asia — former vassals of the Kushano-Sassanians who carved out their own power precisely as Sassanian authority in Bactria collapsed. Shapur III, whose style this piece imitates, reigned only from 383 to 388 AD, making the chronological overlap with Kidarite independent production extremely tight.
The unknown mint attribution reflects a genuine gap: Kidarite administrative geography remains poorly mapped, and die studies on copper issues of this type are thin. Square copper fractions of this weight class circulated alongside imitative silvers in a region where political authority and monetary legitimacy were effectively the same negotiation.
