Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is an imitation of the Kaiyuan coin, which was a standardized currency introduced during the Tang Dynasty in China. The Kaiyuan coin was made of bronze and had a standardized weight and size, and it was used throughout the empire for trade and commerce. The fact that the Bukhara Sogd coin is an imitation of the Kaiyuan coin suggests that there was a strong cultural and economic exchange between the Tang Dynasty and the Sogdian region.
