semirechie turgesh coin identification

Hi all,

I got these two coins recently but their size does not match the database. I wonder if someone could identify if they are authentic.
Coin 1: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces183407.html

Coin 2: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces196984.html


Many thanks!

What is the weight and diameter of your coins?

​Coin 1: 2.39g, 21.2mm
Coin 2: 2.94g, 22.3mm * 23.6mm

Looks like Central Asia, maybe Sogdiana or Ferghana ...

​Thanks I know that these are Turgesh coins with Sogdiana letters, just wondering if they are authentic.

Don't know if it helps you, here is the link to a russian catalogue of Sogdian coins.

​Thank you! This is really a good book and it's a pity that I do not read Russian. Looks like my first coin is still in the range, but coin 2 is not in this book.

Thanks again for sharing it!

In my opinion your coins look fine, both.

The Silk Road foundry workers were certainly not so professional like the chinese. 1 mm more or less cannot be a criterium.
