Unknown Æ Triskeles tamgha, Uncertain Sogdian, Southern Sogdiana

Southern Sogdiana in the seventh and eighth centuries was a fractured monetary zone — Sasanian influence gave way to Arab conquest after 651, yet local elites continued issuing autonomous copper coinage well into the Abbasid period, often retaining pre-Islamic symbols as civic or dynastic markers. The triskeles tamgha belongs to this category of persistently local identity, a dynastic or clan sign used across Central Asian coinage traditions to assert ownership of an issue rather than a political program.
