Uyghur Khaganate, Uyghur script on obverse and reverse. Unlike most steppe empires around the region, the Uyghur Khaganate was unique because they did not invade or raid the borders of Tang Dynasty, hence trade flourished, with at least 4 inter-marriages being recorded in history. The cash coin, also very similar looking to Tang Dynasty's 'Kaiyuan Tongbao' is evident of how it might has imprinted into the cultures of surrounding areas. Boquq khagan was also known as Qutluq II, and the Tang Dynasty bestowed the title of Huaixin Qaghan. During his reign since he was a staunch military ally of the Tang Dynasty, especially against the Tibetan Empire. Very Fine, nice condition. Definitely a coin which reflects ethnic diversity as an integral part of empirical and modern China. Dr. Werner Burger Collection (ex Nicholas Rhodes Collection).cash coin, ND (795-808 A.D.),.
