| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Sasanian-style fire altar rendered in local idiom occupies the central field, flanked by two attendant figures standing in profile facing the altar. A star and crescent symbol appears above the altar in the upper field, reflecting strong Sasanian religious iconographic influence adapted by the rulers of Sindh. The overall composition closely follows the Sasanian fire-altar reverse type, though executed with the simplified, schematic style typical of post-Sasanian imitative coinage of the northwestern Indian subcontinent. The design is contained within a dotted border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Sindh Kingdom occupied a precarious geographic and political position in the early medieval period — a corridor between the expanding Umayyad Caliphate pushing eastward and the established powers of the subcontinent. This stater type, attributed to the Sri Jayataka series, predates the Arab conquest of Sindh in 712 AD by roughly a century, placing it within the last phase of independent Hindu rule before Raja Dahir's defeat at the Battle of the Indus.
The electrum or debased gold composition is itself historically telling — a degraded alloy suggesting fiscal strain or disrupted access to pure gold sources, likely connected to the same regional instabilities that ultimately left Sindh vulnerable.
