| Obverse description | Uniface cast bronze cash-type coin with a central square perforation. A Sogdian inscription surrounds the central hole, reading in the field around the aperture. A tamgha in the form of a runic letter Ash appears to the right of the hole. The legend is rendered in the Sogdian script and identifies the issuing ruler as Tutuk Khagan. The overall style is characteristic of the Central Asian cash coinage tradition of the early medieval period. |
