Interesting fact
The Oghitmai ND (730-766) coin from the Tukhus tribe in Semirechye is interesting because it features a unique blend of Islamic and local artistic influences. The coin's design includes Arabic script and a stylized depiction of a horseman, which reflects the Islamic cultural influence in the region during that time period. However, the coin also features a distinctive floral pattern that is characteristic of the local artistic traditions of the Tukhus tribe. This blending of artistic styles is a fascinating example of cultural exchange and adaptation in the history of Central Asia.
