<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 7597660, member: 75482&quot;]I&#039;ve always been been fond of the coins of the 8th-century Turgesh Khaganate. The coins are Chinese in style but bear a Sogdian inscription translating &quot;coin of the majestic Turgesh khagan&quot;. The reverse features the Turgesh tamgha. These coins were considered extremely rare when I first encountered them some 20 years ago. They are more available today. The Turgesh were a Turkic tribal confederation who established a short-lived state in what now Khazakstan, between the Chinese Tang Empire in the east and the Arab Caliphate in the west.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1308418[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
