VOLGA-BULGHARS

600 – 600 AH

Coins were minted at either Suwar or Bulghar. However, all examples of type #K1481 and most examples of #N1481 & P1481 copy their mint name and date from Samanid prototypes, typically of the period 300-310 of either Samarqand or al-Shash. Volga-Bulghar coins are found mostly in north European hoards and, while not rare in museum collections, are seldom seen in the trade. They normally are found in tolerably decent condition.
