Abstract

Some
part of the pre-Islamic coins of Central Asia, including those belonging to
7th-8th centuries, have some features, specific to Chinese monetary system. In
fact, the evidence of Chinese influence displayed by the coins of Bukhara and
Samarqand, a little bit later by those of Chach (Tashkent), Farghana, Northern
Tokharistan (South Uzbekistan–South Tajikistan), Otrar and Taraz (South
Kazakhstan), about ten out of small oasis kingdoms of South-Eastern
Jetisu/Semirech’e (Kyrgyzstan), belongs exactly to this period. The Chinese
features of the coins of the kingdoms of Soghd, Samarqand, Bukhara, etc, could
be produced by economic needs, however, from the perspective of the region as a
whole, not only economic, but also political influence is quite obvious.

Keywords

Early Medieval Age, coins, Central Asia, petty kingdoms, Turkic Qaghanate, T’ang China, Sogdian traditions, Old Turkic titles, economic, cultural and political relations
