| Reverse description | Abstract reverse design derived from the Sasanian fire-altar attendant motif, featuring two schematized figures flanking a central element, likely a debased rendering of the double-attendant type found on late Sasanian gold coinage. The composition has undergone significant stylization, reflecting the local reinterpretation of Sasanian iconographic conventions by Sindhi die-cutters. A Brahmi legend appears in the field, serving as the primary inscription identifying the issuing authority. |

| Additional information |
The Gujuras ruled Sind in the decades before the Arab conquest under Muhammad bin Qasim in 711–712, after which gold coinage of this type ceased entirely. That abrupt political termination is precisely why so few examples entered extended circulation — the issuing authority collapsed before most coins could wear.
