Interesting fact
The Oghitmish coin with a hole from the Tukhus tribe in Semirechye is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the 8th century, despite having a relatively low weight of 1.89 grams. This suggests that the coin was valued more for its symbolic or cultural significance than its actual worth in metal. Additionally, the fact that it has a hole in the center may indicate that it was used for a specific purpose, such as being strung together with other coins or used as a form of jewelry.
