| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized Sasanian-style royal bust facing right, wearing an elaborate Nezak-type stepped crown surmounted by a crescent and globe finial; the effigy is rendered in a highly schematized, late-antique Central Asian idiom derived from Sasanian prototypes. Tamgha symbols appear within crescents in the outer marginal field, serving as dynastic or tribal identifiers. The portrait is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with the flat surrounding field showing additional marginal devices. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Tokhara Yabghus governed Tokharistan as nominal vassals under Western Türk suzerainty following the collapse of the Hephthalite confederation in the 560s — a political arrangement that left local rulers with enough autonomy to strike their own coinage while acknowledging Türk overlordship. The "anonymous" attribution here reflects a genuine historiographical problem: the yabghus of this period are poorly documented in both Chinese and Byzantine sources, and die studies have not yet resolved which specific ruler authorized individual issues within Göbl's Hun series.
The broad flan relative to the weight is characteristic of the type and traces to Sasanian minting conventions the region absorbed through decades of Hephthalite monetary practice.
