Well, there are about 49 variations. :) Also, I would not think this is the most common Sogdian coin. I would say the 4th century copper Chach...
Yeah, some people list a coin like this as "extremely rare", yet it is probably the most common sogdian cash coin there is. Kind of shows you how...
"Given up" sounds pretty strong when all of the mints around the world still are churning out coins. Shake out of the ambulance chasers maybe. I...
