**Exclusive: 'Turk-Kagan' coin discovery reshapes early Turkic history, says Uzbek professor**
“_Perhaps most significantly, the “Turk-Kagan” coins predate the famed Orkhon inscriptions—those of Tonyukuk, Kultegin, and Bilge Kagan—by more than 150 years. This pushes back the earliest known written usage of “Turk” and “Turk-Kagan” to the late sixth or early seventh century A.D._”
