Comment
Thun Jabgu Khan was Khagan of the Western Turkic Khaganate from 618 to 628. While this type does not specify his name, the types with legends do, meaning this coin could have been struck in his name, or could have been struck sometime after he died.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of the Principality of Chach, which was a small state that existed in the 7th century in the region of modern-day Uzbekistan. Despite its small size, the Principality of Chach was known for its rich agriculture and trade networks, which likely contributed to the circulation of this coin.
