<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 7465914, member: 75482&quot;]Following the comment by [USER=26302]@medoraman[/USER], I thought I might add some clarification. While there is reason to think, by virtue of the countermarks, that the op host coin came into Central Asia originally as part of the ransom of Peroz, the countermarks themselves were almost certainly applied later. The title <i>tegin</i> is Turkic, which suggests that the countermarks must have been applied after the defeat of the Hephthalites by the Sasanians and Turks, that is to say after c. 560.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
