| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized fire altar depicted centrally in the field, rendered in a schematic, linear manner typical of Sogdian bronze coinage of the early Islamic period. The altar is shown frontally with stepped base and flame-like projections at the top, enclosed within a beaded border. The design reflects the Zoroastrian iconographic tradition prevalent in pre-Islamic and early Islamic Transoxiana. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bukharan Sogdian coinage of this period reflects a fractured political moment — the region was caught between the declining Sasanian sphere, the expanding Umayyad caliphate pushing east from Khorasan, and local ikhshid rulers minting in their own names or in imitation of earlier types. The specific obverse legend on pieces like this one often holds the only surviving clue to which local lord authorized the issue, making the reading of debased Sogdian script critical to attribution. Without a Zeimal catalog number, this piece sits in the genuinely contested territory of the type series.
