Comment
This piece is reported on Zeno (155052), and the tamgha could be a stylized version of Otrar's tamgha, although more information is needed.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the ancient Sogdian city of Otrar, which was a major center of trade and commerce along the Silk Road. The coin's design and materials reflect the cultural and economic influences of the region during that time period.
