| Reverse description | Irregularly shaped reverse flan with a prominently raised Sogdian inscription reading 'trdw' (Tardu), identifying the issuing ruler. The script is rendered in a bold, cursive Sogdian hand, occupying the central field in raised relief. The surrounding field is heavily worn and porous, with the flan edges showing irregular striking typical of hammered coinage from the Chach region during the late sixth to early seventh century. No additional decorative elements or border devices are discernible. |
