Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of the Tang Dynasty in China, which was a time of significant cultural and economic exchange between China and Central Asia, including Sogdiana. The coin's design and style likely reflect the influence of Chinese currency of the time, and its presence in Sogdiana suggests that trade and commerce were thriving between the two regions.
