1 Drachm Peroz I imitation, Uncertain Sogdian mint, Northern Tokharistan, 2 countermarks, types 1 and 7

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.
