| Reverse description | The reverse displays the dynastic tamgha of Samarqand positioned to the left of an un-cut central hole area, with an additional secondary tamgha symbol placed to the right, both set within a plain field. The tamghas serve as heraldic dynastic emblems characteristic of Sogdian rulers of the Samarqand region. The field is otherwise plain and unadorned, consistent with the austere reverse designs of Sogdian cast bronze coinage. The coin's irregular flan and coarse surface texture are typical of the casting technique employed in the Transoxiana region during this period. |
