| Additional information |
Qarshi — known historically as Nasaf and later Qarshi under the Shaybanid Uzbeks — functioned as a regional administrative center in Transoxiana throughout the sixteenth century. Anonymous copper falus of this type were fiduciary small change, issued locally with no identifying ruler's name, which makes precise attribution within the century nearly impossible without die linkage studies. The Zeno reference anchors the type but the cataloguing remains thin.
