Reverse description Central field dominated by a bold tamgha device in the form of the runic letter Ash, a dynastic or civic ownership symbol rendered with confident incised lines. The tamgha is surrounded by a crude Sogdian cursive legend arranged around the periphery of the field. A dotted or beaded border frames the design, typical of the debased coinage of Eastern Sogdian autonomous mints of the early medieval period.
