1 Cash - Urk Vartramuka Samarqand, without hole

正面描述	Central field features a rectangular frame or cartouche, within which an un-cut hole placeholder is visible, surrounded by a Sogdian inscription arranged in a circular legend around the central design. The inscription identifies the issuing ruler and reads in Sogdian script. The coin's fabric is irregular and the fields show the characteristic rough surface typical of cast Sogdian coinage of this period. Decorative pellet or dot elements appear within the border area. The overall style is consistent with late 7th-century Transoxianan numismatic conventions.

附加信息	Samarqand in the late seventh century was a city under acute pressure — Arab armies had been raiding Sogdiana repeatedly since the 650s, and the local Ikhshid rulers minted coins that deliberately retained pre-Islamic iconographic and monetary conventions as a form of cultural resistance. The absence of the central hole on this type is a notable departure from the dominant cast-coin tradition of the Sogdian sphere, where square-holed issues dominated everyday exchange. Whether this reflects a specific administrative decision or workshop variation remains debated among specialists in Sogdian numismatics.
