Comment
Most of these coins were found in Kyrgyzstan, leading to a tentative attribution to Semirechye; however, at least one example is reported from Xinjiang, China and at least two examples are reported from Afghanistan.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was possibly minted in the Semirechye region, which was a part of the ancient Silk Road trade route. This region was known for its diverse cultural influences and its role in facilitating the exchange of goods and ideas between East and West. The coin's uncertain mint and date of production only add to its mystery and historical significance.
