IN THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES, COINS OF NAKHSHAB

Abstract

In the Sughd oasis, it is noticeable that by the beginning of the Middle Ages, the minting of each ruler's own coin began to spread widely. During this period, unlike the coins of the previous phase, the types of coins increased, and almost every ruler began to express their dynastic seals, the image of the head of the ruler, the title, the name of the suppressed place (rulership) (for example, Kesh, Panch, Naxshab) on the coins. Also, the changes in the management of the oasis during the period of the Turkish khanate were reflected in the coins, which prompted changes in the minting traditions.
