| Obverse description | Stylized bust of a ruler facing right, depicted in low relief within a circular border or ring. The portrait is rendered in a schematic, heavily abstracted Sogdian artistic style typical of pre-Islamic Central Asian coinage, with minimal facial detail discernible due to the broad, flat flan and heavy surface patination. No visible inscription or legend surrounds the effigy. |
