1 Drachm - Sahi Tigin Tokhara Yabghus

The Tokhara Yabghus were Turkic governors holding nominal authority under the Western Türk qaghanate while navigating constant pressure from both the expanding Umayyad caliphate pushing into Transoxiana and Tang Chinese influence from the east. Sahi Tigin was among the later yabghus operating in this increasingly unstable corridor. By 700–720, Arab raids into Tokharistan were becoming incursions, and coinage of this period often reflects hasty or reduced-quality production consistent with a polity under military and administrative strain.
