CONCLUSION:
1- The hoard contains 108 copper coins, I think, the owner of the hoard did not propose to hide it as a treasure, but only some small change coins may be from the commercial trade.
2- The heaviest weight is 6.20 gr. The lightest weight is 2.60 gr. There was no standard weight. The largest number of coins with the same weight 4.60 gr. are 16 coins, accordingly, these coins were probably circulated by weight, not by its value [Chart 1].
3- The hoard contains 1 coin belonging to the Ghaznawīds, 6 coins (in 3 Dies) belonging to Khwārizm Shāhs, and 101 coins (in 20 Dies) belonging to the Great Mongols. The consequence of the multitude of dies, gives a certain indication to the activity of Bādakhshān mint [Die plan 1].
4- By the comparison with anther hoard preserved in Jena collection, Most of this hoard belongings to the Khwārizm shāhs, in addition to some of the Mongol coins, belonging to the dies D-c and G-e (the letter (hāʾ) with a Short upper hook of the word of the word Allah) so, we can suggest that the coins which belonging to these dies are the oldest struck coins.
5- The Mongol coins have two types; the first (Within double circles in between triangles in Obverse, and a square with trefoil pointed in side in reverse), The second type (within a line circle and arabesque on right and below in obverse, and with touched small rings in margin and arabesque on right and below in reverse).
6- The reverse dies were used more than the obverse dies, that 5 dies were used in the opposite of 2, so we can say that the upper die was which hold the reverse inscriptions.
7- The mints of the coins of the hoard are, Ghaznī, Qunduz, and Bādakhshān, so we can suppose that the hoard owned to a dealer or a merchant whose living in the area of the north-east of Afghanistan [Map 1].
