| Reverse description | A fire temple of Ahura-Mazda, depicted with crenellated turrets, occupies the central field. To the left of the temple stands the king in a praying attitude, facing right with arms raised in supplication. To the right of the temple appears a cult standard or royal ensign. An Aramaic inscription is placed between the standard and the temple, with additional legend positioned behind the figure of the king and below the altar. The composition reflects the deeply religious and dynastic iconography characteristic of the Frataraka rulers of Persis. |
