| Reverse description | Schematically rendered bridled horse's head facing right, depicted in a bold and highly abstracted style typical of Sogdian imitative coinage. The bridle is indicated by a curved line encircling the muzzle, and two pellets are visible in the field, likely vestigial remnants of the original Seleucid reverse design. The design is confined within a plain, slightly concave flan with no exergual line. The execution is crude but confident, consistent with local workshop production in the Samarqand region. |
