| Obverse description | Crude bust of a ruler facing right, rendered in a debased Sogdian artistic style characteristic of the Nakhshab principality. The effigy displays a helmeted or crowned head with simplified facial features, surrounded by a rough, irregular flan. The field around the bust is largely plain, with faint traces of borderline dots or pellets visible at the periphery. The striking is off-center and typical of the hammered coinage of this region and period. |
