| Obverse description | Bust of a ruler depicted in three-quarter view facing left, wearing an elaborate crown or headdress with globular finials visible above, rendered in the local Sogdian artistic tradition. The Bukharan dynastic tamgha appears prominently in the field before the face. A Sogdian legend runs along the upper margin of the coin within a dotted border that frames the entire design. The overall style reflects the Hephthalite-influenced coinage of the Bukharan lords, with bold if somewhat schematic modeling of the facial features and headdress. |
