Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique crescent moon headdress, which is not commonly seen in other coins from the same time period. This suggests that the coin may have been minted for a specific occasion or event, or that it was intended to symbolize a particular cultural or religious belief. Additionally, the fact that it is made of bronze and weighs only 1.21g suggests that it may have been used for everyday transactions, making it a rare and valuable artifact from ancient Sogdiana.
