New Western Gök Türk coins from the second half of the 6th century have been unearthed at Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. The only example I saw has a depiction of a qaghan (or a yabghu?) which seems very similar to Xuan Zang's description of Tong Yabghu.

I'll post the photo of that coin later, when I find an online pic.

Nomad, rider of the ancient east
Nomad, rider that men know the least
Nomad, where you come from no one knows
Nomad, where you go to no one tells

- Iron Maiden, "The Nomad"
