| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central device features a tamgha — a dynastic emblematic symbol — rendered in raised relief at the center of the field, enclosed within a circular inner border. Surrounding this device, four Chinese seal-script characters are arranged in the four quadrants of the field, reading 銅銭重廿四銖, meaning 'copper coin weighing twenty-four zhu.' The combination of a local dynastic tamgha with Chinese metrological script reflects the bilingual and bicultural monetary policy of the Khotan Kingdom, bridging Indic and Sinitic traditions on a single flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Khotan's bilingual coinage — with Kharoshthi on one face and Chinese script on the other — emerged from the kingdom's position as a commercial and diplomatic intermediary on the southern Silk Road, obligated to communicate with both the Kushan sphere to the west and Han China to the east. The "Gurgamoa" series is attributed to a specific local ruler, the name itself a Prakrit rendering preserved in the Kharoshthi inscription. Cribb's classification separates types 7 and 8 primarily on the basis of die workmanship and fabric variation rather than any administrative distinction.
