| Reverse description | Depiction of the sacred fire temple of Ahura-Mazda shown in elevation at center, with a stepped altar platform from which flames emerge. To the left of the temple, the king stands in right-facing profile, dressed in traditional Persid robes, holding or gesturing toward the sacred fire in a posture of ritual veneration. A standard or scepter appears to the outer right of the composition. The Aramaic letter Gamma (Γ) appears in retrograde form to the inner left of the field, likely serving as a control mark or initial. |
