Description of The Termez Coin With An Arrow

Abstract

The Anushtegin state is one of the countries that has left an indelible mark on the history of Central Asia. Today, there are unexplored pages in the history of this state. One of them is the subject of the formation and characteristics of the monetary system. This state monetary system, which has been formed for a long time, will be completely destroyed after the Mongol invasion. Although some aspects of it have been preserved even during the Mongol period, some traditions that belonged to it have been destroyed. Therefore, the study of the formation of the monetary system in the study of the history of this country remains a topical issue. This article describes a dirham coin minted on behalf of Khorezmshah Aloviddin Muhammad in Termez. Attempts have been made to use the works of Eastern and Western scholars in the study of the history of the minting of this coin. It also reveals the symbols, texts and arrowheads depicted on the coin.
