Comment
This type has been published on Zeno (186897).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of the Ferghana Khaganate, which was a Turkic khaganate that existed from the 8th to the 10th century in the Fergana Valley in Central Asia. The Ferghana Khaganate was known for its cultural and economic achievements, and its coins were an important part of its trade and commerce. The use of bronze in the production of this coin suggests that it was a widely used and accessible material during this time period. Additionally, the fact that the coin features an unknown ruler suggests that there may be more to learn about the history of this region and its rulers.
