PAIKEND: Anonymous, ca. 640-710, AE cash (1.53g), cf. Zeno-289243, Bukhara tamgha at top, Chinese yuan below, and Sogdian text to left and right // cross above central hole, lovely example, attractive VF. Alexandr Naymark has read the Sogdian text as PRN / KND, "city of glory", and suggested that this was a local issue under a Christian ruler, in opposition to the kings of Bukhara (see Zeno-30858 for this explanation).

Estimate: USD 100 - 150
