| Reverse description | The reverse bears a Sogdian inscription arranged within the field, reading 'twn cpgw x`g`n pny', translating as 'Coin of Thun Jabgu Khan', identifying the piece as struck in the name of the Western Türk ruler Thun Jabgu Khan (r. 618–628). The legend is executed in the Sogdian script, consistent with the administrative and monetary practices of Sogdian-controlled urban centres in Transoxiana and the Ferghana region during this period. The script is lightly struck and partially legible due to flan irregularity and surface corrosion. The overall design is plain, with the inscription occupying the central field without a surrounding border or decorative elements. |
