| Obverse description | Debased Sasanian-style royal bust facing right, wearing an elaborate Nezak-type crown adorned with crescent and globe finial; the effigy is rendered in a highly stylized, provincial manner consistent with post-Sasanian Central Asian coinage. Crescent symbols appear in the outer margins flanking the bust. The flan is irregular and the die work is coarse, reflecting local hammered production in Tokharistan during the mid-6th to early 7th century. |
