A rare and historically significant collectible from the Indo-Sassanian series, dating approximately to the 5th–7th century AD, representing the transition of Sassanian artistic influence into early Indian coinage traditions. This type is known for its stylized depiction of royal imagery derived from Sassanian prototypes, adapted into a uniquely regional form over time. The obverse features a diademed bust facing right, adorned with ornaments and robe, enclosed within a dotted border. The reverse showcases the iconic fire altar flanked by attendants, along with celestial symbols such as the star and crescent—elements deeply rooted in Zoroastrian symbolism and carried forward into Indo-Sassanian adaptations. Such issues are valued for their historical transition significance, distinctive stylization, and strong representation of early medieval numismatic evolution in the Indian subcontinent.
