Comment
These anonymous coins were said to be struck starting in 716, when Suluk (714-738) gained the title Khagan. While these are sometimes said to be struck under that ruler, these could have also been struck under his successors.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Türgesh Khaganate, a powerful Turkic khaganate that existed in the 8th century in the Semirechye region, which is now part of modern-day Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
