| Additional information |
Chorasmian coinage of the mid-first-century range remains among the least systematically documented in Central Asian numismatics. Vainberg's typology, developed through Soviet-era excavations primarily around ancient Kath and Toprak-kala, is still the foundational reference, though attribution of individual rulers within the Middle Period sequence remains contested — many "rulers" are identified solely by die groupings rather than any textual corroboration.
The Zeno catalog number suggests this piece has passed through collector documentation, but Chorasmian bronzes of this period rarely surface with excavation provenance intact.
