| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bearded male bust facing right, rendered in a Hellenistic artistic tradition adapted to local Central Asian style. The effigy displays pronounced facial features including a strong jaw and defined beard, with hair swept back from the forehead. A Greek legend reading YPKωΔOY (Hyrcodes) appears in the field behind the bust, identifying the issuing authority. The overall style reflects the Greco-Bactrian numismatic influence prevalent in the Sogdian region during the early centuries CE. |

Bukhara's coinage of this type derives ultimately from the tetradrachms of Eucratides I of Bactria, filtered through generations of local imitation until the Greek legend became purely decorative — copied by die-cutters who could not read it. The "Hyrcodes" name is a scholarly reconstruction of the issuing authority rather than a transliteration from any surviving inscription. These small silvers circulated along the Sogdian trade routes during a period when no single power fully controlled the region between Parthian withdrawal and Kushano-Sasanian expansion.
