| Obverse description | Facing bust of the ruler depicted frontally, wearing a stepped tiara or crown ornamented with pellets, rendered in a schematic Central Asian style. A Soghdian legend is disposed to the right of the effigy in the field, while the distinctive Bukharan tamga symbol occupies the left field. The portrait features large almond-shaped eyes, a stylized nose, and a straight mouth, characteristic of Hephthalite coinage from the Bukhara mint. The flan is irregular with a beaded or dotted border partially visible around the periphery. |
