Imitative Soghdian legends on both sides. 20mm, 5.91 grams. Rare.

A class of unusual coin-like objects found in Soghd had an uncertain purpose. They are the size of contemporary Soghdian coins from c.5th-6th century, but the inscriptions they show are unreadable and seem to be imitative. They might have been contemporary imitative coins, charms, amilets or even buttons.
