| Reverse description | A horse advancing to the right, rendered in a schematic and linear style typical of Hephthalite copper coinage from Bukhara. The animal's body is depicted with simplified musculature, its mane suggested by a row of pellets or strokes along the neck. A dotted border runs along the periphery of the flan. The field is otherwise plain, and the fabric shows the characteristic rough surface of hammered copper issues of this series. |
