Comment
The exact location of the wine glass tamgha pieces is not agreed upon. Southern Sogdiana seems to be the most popular, presumably based on the findings of one or a few specimens; however, Eastern Sogdiana and Ustrushana are both also plausible.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of bronze, which was a common material used for coins in ancient times due to its durability and affordability.
