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 style likely reflect the influence of Chinese culture on the Sogdian mint.
