| Reverse description | Schematically depicted fire altar, derived from the Sasanian prototype, with the central shaft replaced by a vertical arrangement of three pellets or dots, flanking attendant devices on either side. Above the altar appears the Brahmi akshara 'Sri', serving as an auspicious royal epithet. The design retains the essential symbolic vocabulary of the Zoroastrian fire altar while adapting it to local Hindu numismatic convention, reflecting the syncretic religious context of early Islamic-period Sindh. |
