Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is an imitation of a Kaiyuan coin, which was a Chinese currency that was introduced during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE). The Kaiyuan coin was made of bronze and had a standardized weight and size, which made it easily recognizable and trustworthy. The fact that this coin is an imitation of a Kaiyuan coin suggests that it was likely used for trade or commerce, and that the Sogdian people valued the stability and reliability of the Chinese currency.
