Unknown Æ - Anonymous Nakhshab

Nakhshab — the ancient city known today as Qarshi in southern Uzbekistan — operated as a semi-autonomous principality within the broader Kushano-Sasanian and Hephthalite orbit, issuing its own bronze coinage for local exchange when silver was either unavailable or politically inconvenient. Anonymous issues of this type present genuine attribution difficulties; the absence of a ruler name is not carelessness but likely reflects the administrative reality of a region cycling through overlords rapidly enough that dynastic claims on small bronzes were simply impractical.
