Comment
The prototype for these coins is a Sasanian drachm of King Varhran V.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made during the reign of the Bukhar Khudat dynasty, which was a Persianate Muslim dynasty that ruled Bukhara (in present-day Uzbekistan) from the 7th to the 10th century. The coin features an image of the ruler facing right, which was a common feature of coins during this time period. Additionally, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal for currency during this time.
