| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain field featuring two tamghas, the dynastic emblems of the Samarqand rulers, positioned on either side of the central square hole. The primary tamgha of Samarqand appears to the right of the hole, while a secondary, additional tamgha is placed to the left. Both symbols are cast in low relief against a flat, unadorned field, consistent with the aniconic reverse types characteristic of Sogdian coinage of the Ikhshidid dynasty during the seventh century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Varkhuman ruled Samarqand as an ikhshid in the mid-seventh century, a period when Sogdiana was caught between the collapsing Sasanian world to the west and the expanding Tang Chinese sphere to the east. He is known historically from the Afrasiab murals — the remarkable painted hall discovered in 1965 that depicts him receiving foreign embassies, including one almost certainly from Tang China. This coin type, lacking the royal title found on related issues, may reflect a transitional moment in his reign or a specific regional issuing authority below the palace level.
