The striking is irregular with die shift visible, characteristic of hammered coinage of this period and region. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Qarakhanids were the first Turkic dynasty to convert to Islam en masse, and their coinage reflects the administrative complexity of a khaganate that functioned as a confederation of semi-autonomous appanages rather than a centralized state. Local governors struck in their own names beneath the senior khan's authority, which is precisely why regional issues like this one from Isbijab — a major Silk Road entrepôt on the Syr Darya frontier — can carry names that appear in no dynastic succession list but were genuine holders of minting rights.
Isbijab, later known as Sayram, sat at a critical node between the steppe and Transoxiana.
