| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bust of the Sasanian king Peroz I in right-facing profile, depicted in the stylized manner typical of Sogdian imitative coinage. The royal effigy features a distinctive winged crown surmounted by a globe, with characteristic Sasanian regalia rendered in a somewhat debased, provincial style. Two countermarks are visible in the field, identified as types 1 and 7, applied subsequent to the original striking. The surrounding area retains traces of a beaded border, and the overall fabric reflects the irregular flan characteristic of hammered silver issues from Northern Tokharistan. |

Peroz I Sasanian drachms, minted before his death fighting the Hephthalites in 484 AD, flooded Central Asian trade networks as prestige bullion and became the template for generations of local imitation coinage across Sogdia and Tokharistan. This piece carries two countermarks — types 1 and 7 in the established classification — applied by separate issuing authorities to authenticate or re-validate the coin for local circulation, a practice that effectively extended the life of already-debased imitation silver across multiple polities and decades.
