<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 2514787, member: 74834&quot;]But Chrsmat71, that&#039;s a Sogdian two-portrait coin (scarce), a very interesting type. Probably dates from the 6th-7th century AD. The tamgha at the reverse is ascribed to the fair old city of Kanka, 50 miles south of Tashkent (Uzbekistan). On another coin of this type, the legend &#039;Tuun khagan&#039; has been deciphered, the Lord Tuun.</p><p>See the standard work about coins like this by Shagalov &amp; Kuznetsov, p. 197-198. Group 5, Type I, Version III or more likely IVa.</p><p>This is how the coin ideally could look, but EF coins of this type likely don&#039;t exist.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]535353[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
