Obverse: 'prykk MLK'
Context
There is some uncertainty about the attribution of this coin. This piece was originally attributed by Smirnova as being a posthumous imitation of a Gurak piece from the Ikhshids of Samarqand, reading the legend as 'wr'kk MLK' (King Gurak). However, the tamgha on the reverse does not resemble Gurak's but is identical to Tukaspadak's and Tarkhun's tamghas. Akhunbabaev later read the legend as 'prykk MLK' (King Afrig), corresponding to Divashtish, a ruler of Pendjikent. And while the coin has a tamgha of Samarqand on the reverse, Divashtish had claim to the title of King of Samarqand from around year 719, even though his claim was not official.
