Context
While the name Vahshutava is written on the coin, this name does not seem to appear outside of numismatic context. Often, the translation is said to be 'Coin of King Vahshutava', but the Sogdian word xwt'[w] is more equivalent to MR'Y (Lord) than MLK' (King). And while the exact reign of this person is unkown, they are said to have reigned circa 730.
