LOCAL ISSUES, Uncertain. 6th-8th centuries AD. Æ (18mm, 2.21 g, 7h). Crowned bust right / Tamgha. Mitchiner,
Non-Islamic 65-67. VF, brown patina, light earthen deposits.
Although the tamgha on the reverse closely resembles that of Chach, the type is not noted in S&K. Mitchiner attributes this to a “Lord Yagbhou” of the Western Turkish Khanate.
