This type is published on Zeno (179791).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 other regions, including Sogdiana. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the blending of Chinese and Sogdian influences, making it a unique example of cross-cultural exchange in the history of numismatics.
