| Aversbeschreibung | Stylized bust of the ruler depicted in three-quarter left-facing view, rendered without a neck, with sharply delineated hair. The effigy occupies the majority of the field and is executed in a schematic, provincial artistic style characteristic of Sogdian coinage. The flan is irregular and the relief is low, consistent with cast production techniques of the period. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Central field bears the tamgha (dynastic symbol) of Farankat, surrounded by a Sogdian inscription running along the periphery of the flan. The legend, partially legible due to the irregular flan and surface wear, reads 'pny `krt xwbw nyrt', translating as 'Coin made by the ruler Nirtanak'. The script and iconographic arrangement are consistent with known Sogdian civic coinage of the 7th–9th centuries. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Farankat was a minor Sogdian urban center in the Tashkent oasis, and its civic coinage belongs to a poorly documented tradition of local bronze issues that persisted through the Arab conquest and well into the Abbasid period. The Sogdian legend reading "Nirtanak" likely encodes a ruler's name or title, though the sequence of Farankat's local lords remains only partially reconstructed from numismatic evidence alone — no contemporary written source names them reliably.
Shagalov and Kuznetsov's reference corpus remains the primary tool for attributing these issues, and even they acknowledge significant gaps.
