��� 撒马尔罕城标系统，完整如典

正面10点方向：阴刻三角形印记；
背面3点方向：三角实形明记；
3~5点缘面：艺术化处理的粟特文“撒马尔罕城标”（忍冬纹变体）；
穿右轮缘：实体三角尖标记；
12点、1点、6点、8点方向：独立几何徽记；
面文区域（2–5点、宝字头、开字内）：清晰可见粟特“一两”币值符号，与唐代“十钱一两”币制双重对应。
全币图文高度艺术化，将城标、币值、星纹、月纹、忍冬纹融为一体，非铸造痕迹，亦非后天磨损，而是本地工匠在官方框架内融入粟特文化的直接证据。
��� Samarkand city sign system, complete as classic
The whole currency is full of systematic and deliberately designed local cultural logos, forming a unique "Sogdian password":10 o'clock direction on the front: engraved triangle imprint;3-point direction on the back: triangle solid shape clear note;3~5 point border surface: artistically processed Sogdian "Samarkand city sign" (variant of winter pattern);Wear the right wheel rim: solid triangle tip mark;12 o'clock, 1 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 8 o'clock direction: independent geometric emblem;Face text area (2–5 points, treasure word head, open word inside): the Sogdian "one tael" currency value symbol can be clearly seen, which corresponds to the "ten coins and one tael" currency system in the Tang Dynasty.The whole currency picture and text are highly artistic, integrating the city sign, currency value, star pattern, moon pattern and winter pattern. It is not a casting trace or acquired wear, but a direct evidence of the integration of local craftsmen into Sogdian culture within the official framework.
��� 史籍与考古，铁证如山
斯米尔诺娃《粟特钱币目录》：

→ 本品特征与著录完全吻合，可直接确证为本地官铸标准形制。
《大唐西域记·飒秣建国》：

��� Historical books and archeology, iron evidence is like a mountain
Smirnova's "Catalogue of Sogdian Coins":
"The most typical feature of the official coinage of Samarkand, that is, the edge of the wheel, the appearance of triangular tips, V-shaped and other entities or negative engravings... is the most intuitive and authoritative basis for judging the official special coins of Sogdian."
→ The characteristics of this product are completely consistent with the writing, and it can be directly confirmed that it is a local official casting standard form."The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty · The Founding of the People's Republic of China":"The capital of the country is more than 20 miles away, which is extremely dangerous and solid, and there are many people... It is clever and convenient, and the skills are excellent."
→ It is confirmed that Samarkand has the technical conditions for minting high-tech special coins.New Book of Tang Dynasty · Biography of the Western Regions:"Kang is called Samoqi... In the third year of Xianqing, his land is Kangju Governor's Office."
→ Samarkand, that is, the state of Kang in the Tang Dynasty, belongs to the Tang Dynasty system and has the political foundation for minting coins for the imperial court.
