Unknown Æ - Anonymous Bukhar Khudat

The Bukhar Khudats were the indigenous rulers of Sogdiana's Bukhara oasis, issuing their own coinage well into the Umayyad occupation period — a practice the Arab administration tolerated largely because local bronze coinage was too embedded in regional commerce to disrupt. After the Arab conquest of 709, these anonymous issues continued circulating alongside Islamic coinage, a monetary overlap that lasted decades longer than the political one.
