Unknown Æ - Nana-Khatun Type V

The Principality of Fiknan occupied a small territory in the Kashkadarya region of Sogdiana, one of dozens of semi-autonomous polities that fragmented Central Asian authority during the period when Tang Chinese influence and Arab expansion were simultaneously pressing on the region from opposite directions. The Nana-Khatun coin types are named for a female ruler or regent — the name itself invoking the Sogdian goddess Nana — though whether the title reflects actual female governance or a religious-dynastic formula remains unresolved in the literature.

Type V is distinguished from the earlier Nana-Khatun issues by tamga variants documented by Smirnova in her corpus of Sogdian coins.
