[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 3795659, member: 26302"]The sogdian cash pieces showed up fairly late in Sogdian coinage history, after the Chinese incursion. Sogdian coinage began for the most part as local imitations of Alex III pieces minted in the aftermath of his death. Then imitations of Seluekid coinage appeared around 300-280 and these became the foundation of Samarkand coinage prototypes. It wasn't until the 3rd century ad interrupted by Yue Chi coinage. S&K covers the period of 3-7th century copper "greek" coinage well. I have nearly a complete S&K collection. You also have coins of Kwarezm, southern.
