Comment
This coin was found near Tirmidh (Termez), and is both unpublished and presumably unique.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of the Tang Dynasty in China, which was known for its extensive trade networks and cultural exchange along the Silk Road. The Sogdian mint, where the coin was produced, was located in present-day Uzbekistan and was an important center for trade and commerce during this time period. The coin's design and materials reflect the cultural and economic influences of the region, making it a unique and valuable artifact for historians and collectors.
