Sawashfan
Sawashfan was the ruler of the Afrighid dynasty of Khwarezm during the 8th-century. He was the son and successor of Askajamuk II.
He is one of the few Afrighid rulers whose coins have been identified. The coin shows a bust of Sawashfan to the left, while it shows him on horseback to the right. Sawashfan is known in Chinese sources as Shao-she-fien, where he in 751 is reportedly said to have requested help from the Tang dynasty. Sawashfan was later succeeded by his grandson Azkajwar-Abdallah.
