Watch List notes:

HUNNIC TRIBES, Nezak Huns. Hemidrachm (Bronze, 23 mm, 3.90 g, 12 h), circa 650. Draped bust to right, wearing mustache and crown with three crescents; in field to right, remnants of NYCKY ('Nezak' in Pahlawi) above cockle-shell. Rev. Alchon tamgha within a pearled double margin; in outer margin, four star-in-crescents. Göbl 231. Vondrovec, Type 231. Attractive earthen highlights on a dark patina. Very fine.


This interesting issue mixes a typical Nezak bust with the tamgha of the Alchon tribe on the reverse.
