Nezak Kings, Silver Drachm
The primary silver drachm of the Nēzak dynasty features a royal bust wearing a distinctive winged crown surmounted by a bovine head, paired with a Zoroastrian fire altar flanked by attendants and astral rosettes. Minted in the Hindu Kush region following the collapse of Sasanian authority in eastern Iran, this series preserves the Middle Persian dynastic title nycky MLKA, long misread in legacy literature as the personal name Napki Malka.
