| Reverse description | Central device depicting a Zoroastrian fire altar flanked by two standing attendants, directly inherited from Sasanian coinage iconography. The composition is enclosed within three concentric border lines, with four stars set within crescents distributed across the margin. The Arabic legends 'barakat min Allah' (blessings from Allah) and 'khayr' (goodness) appear in designated quadrant positions, blending Sasanian visual tradition with Islamic epigraphy. |
