Bk 6.
Imitation of drachm of Sassanian king Varhran V. Second half of the 7th - first quarter of the 8th centuries.
Obv.: Crowned bust of ruler right, circle with a dot under crown. In front of the face Sogdian legend - "King of Bukhara", behind the head distorted pehlevi legend.
Rev.: In the center of the coin altar with a head of Ahura Mazda to the right. On both sides of the altar figures of attendants (mobeds).
Images on coins of this type (Bk6-Bk10) were executed crudely and schematically. The planchet is thin, has an insignificant convexity. And likely due to the technical peculiarity of the strike, a significant number of cracks is present on the coins.
