Comment
Thun Jabgu Khan was Khagan of the Western Turkic Khaganate from 618 to 628.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a retrograde tamgha, which is a symbol used in the Turkic and Mongolian cultures to represent a territorial or tribal mark. The use of this symbol on the coin suggests that the Principality of Chach, where the coin was minted, had a strong connection to these cultures.
