(Translation: Mazda, the Lord of the country Bukharan King Kana)
Beschrijving keerzijde Stylized fire altar flanked by two attendants, rendered in a highly schematic and degenerate style typical of late Bukhar Khudat imitative coinage. The central altar structure is depicted frontally with stepped base elements, while the flanking figures are represented as simplified geometric forms with minimal anatomical detail. Dot pellets appear in the field between the figures and the altar. The overall composition derives ultimately from Sasanian fire-altar reverse types but has been substantially abstracted through successive local die-cutting. The field is otherwise plain with no additional inscriptions visible.

Aanvullende informatie

The so-called 'Mug' designation derives from the archive of Sogdian documents discovered at Mount Mug in Tajikistan in 1933, a cache that included administrative records from the estate of Dewashtich, the last ruler of Panjikent, killed by Arab forces around 722 AD. Those documents fixed the paleographic and iconographic dating for this coin type. The Bukhar Khudats — hereditary lords of Bukhara — continued striking their own silver through the Umayyad conquest period, a rare instance of a subordinated dynasty maintaining de facto monetary autonomy well into the eighth century.
