Comment
The exact meaning of pryswdr needs confirmations. It may a name similar to Bariskdar; however, with Ashkant being named on the reverse of similar coins, it may be some title or title description.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great cultural and economic exchange along the Silk Road, a network of trade routes that connected the East and West. The Principality of Nakhshab, where the coin was minted, was a key stopover for merchants traveling between China, India, and the Mediterranean region. As a result, the coin likely had a diverse range of influences and may feature designs or symbols that reflect the cultural exchange of that time.
