| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field occupied by a densely rendered Sogdian inscription composed of cursive ligatures, partially legible, reading 'prn [...]' with the partially preserved legend interpreted as referencing a deity. The design is enclosed within a raised circular border, the flan exhibiting the characteristic irregular planchet edge typical of hammered Central Asian issues of the 8th century. The surface carries an even olive-green patina consistent with prolonged burial. The script is executed in a cursive Sogdian hand with strokes of varying depth, reflecting the conventions of provincial die-cutting. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sogdiana's fragmented political geography during the 8th century meant that dozens of local rulers — from the lords of Bukhara and Samarkand to minor dehqans controlling single river valleys — struck their own bronze issues with little coordination. Attributing these coins remains genuinely difficult work; the field relies heavily on Smirnova's 1981 corpus and subsequent Soviet-era excavation reports, neither of which resolved all attributions.
