| Additional information |
Sogdian coinage from this period resists tidy attribution. The merchant cities of Transoxiana — Samarkand, Bukhara, Chach — each produced autonomous bronze issues through the seventh and eighth centuries, and die links between them complicate any confident assignment to a single mint. The interval 601–801 spans the pre-Islamic Sogdian peak, the Arab conquests of the 670s–710s, and the subsequent absorption into the Abbasid monetary sphere, meaning coins of this type circulated across a transformation so complete that the issuing authority may itself have ceased to exist mid-circulation.
