| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a frontal standing figure rendered in a schematic, archaic style characteristic of Sogdian coinage of the Western Türk period; the figure appears to hold an object horizontally, possibly a bow or staff, with arms extended. Flanking the central figure on either side are Sogdian script characters forming a votive legend. The design is contained within a beaded or rope border encircling the entire flan. The overall execution is typical of the debased local coinage produced at Suyab during the early 8th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Suyab, situated in the Chuy Valley of what is now northern Kyrgyzstan, was one of the principal Sogdian merchant colonies along the Silk Road and briefly served as a Tang Chinese garrison town following the campaigns of 657–659 AD. These local bronze issues were struck under civic or regional authority during a period of intense political pressure — the Arab advance from the west and the competing claims of the Western Türk successor states made Suyab's autonomy increasingly precarious. The city fell definitively out of independent operation following the Battle of the Talas River in 751.
