1 Drachm Peroz imitation, Northern Tokharistan

正面描述	Stylized bust of the Sasanian king Peroz facing right, rendered in a debased local imitative style, set within a beaded border. The effigy retains the characteristic winged crown of Peroz, though simplified and abstracted by local die-cutters. A Sogdian countermark appears in the field, reading 'twh`rik' (Tokharistan), applied after striking to assert local authority. The overall execution reflects the provincial adaptation of Sasanian iconographic conventions in post-Sasanian Central Asia.

附加信息	These imitations of Sasanian Peroz-type drachms circulated in Northern Tokharistan well after Peroz himself died in 484 AD, killed along with much of his army at the Battle of Herat against the Hephthalites — the very people whose political successors likely struck pieces like this one. The Hephthalite confederation controlled Tokharistan through most of the sixth century, and local mints perpetuated the Peroz type as a trusted monetary form long after it had any connection to its source. Weight reduction from the Sasanian standard is typical of the series and reflects local rather than imperial production discipline.
