| Additional information |
Nakhshab — modern Qarshi in southern Uzbekistan — sat astride the Sogdian trade corridor linking Transoxiana to the wider Islamic world during the mid-eighth century. These anonymous fals were struck in the decade immediately following the Abbasid revolution of 750, when the new caliphate was still consolidating control over the far eastern provinces and local rulers retained considerable autonomous minting authority. The absence of any ruler's name is itself informative: it reflects a transitional moment when Nakhshab's princes had not yet been fully absorbed into the Abbasid administrative apparatus.
