| Reverse description | A fire altar depicted centrally in schematic form, consistent with Zoroastrian iconographic conventions found on Sogdian coinage of the Bukharan series. The tamgha of Bukhara, a distinctive dynastic emblem, appears to the right of the altar. A partially legible Sogdian inscription occupies the left field, though the legend is described as uncertain and is largely obscured by wear and patination. The whole is enclosed within a beaded border on an irregularly shaped flan. |
