Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse legend, which is written in the Sogdian language and script. This suggests that the coin was minted for circulation in the Sogdian region, which was an important center of trade and commerce along the Silk Road during the 7th to 9th centuries.
