| Additional information |
Choresmia in the late third century occupied an uneasy position between the declining Kushan sphere and the expanding Sasanian reach, and its coinage from this interval remains poorly documented — Vainberg's typology is still the primary framework, and gaps in it are substantial. The Wazamar Middle Period attribution places this piece within a dynastic sequence reconstructed almost entirely from hoards, with virtually no surviving textual record of individual rulers or mint authority.
The Zeno catalogue reference suggests a paralleled specimen, but die studies on this series remain unpublished in Western literature.
