Interesting fact
The ½ Tilla coin from the Khanate of Khiva (Khiva Khanate) made of Gold weighing 2.25 g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Qutlugh Murad, who was known for his efforts to modernize and strengthen the Khanate, which was a powerful state in Central Asia during the 19th century. Despite being a small coin, it was made of gold, indicating the wealth and prosperity of the Khanate at that time.
