| Obverse description | Central square perforation surrounded by a Sogdian inscription reading 'Lord Köbäk' (kwp`k xwt`w), arranged around the hole within the coin's field. A tamgha of the Türgesh tribe appears below the central perforation, and a runic letter is positioned to the right. The legend is rendered in Sogdian script, reflecting the syncretic Turkic-Sogdian cultural milieu of the issuing authority. |
