Comments

These coins are published on Zeno (like 40231 and 40182), with at least three examples being known.

There is some debat on whether these should be classified as early Islamic coins or Central Asian pieces under Islamic influence, and while Chach is a popular opinion on origin, at least one piece was found in Bukhara.
