| Reverse description | A highly schematized and crudely rendered design occupying the central field of the reverse, consistent with a stylized altar or symbol typical of Sogdian coinage from the Nakhshab principality. The design is difficult to resolve clearly due to heavy corrosion and the rough, porous surface of the flan. Traces of a Sogdian inscription are present in the field, though largely illegible due to the worn condition of the die and the irregular strike. The overall execution reflects the provincial, anonymous issues of 4th–5th century Central Asian bronze coinage. |
