Interesting fact
The Oghitmish coin from the Tukhus tribe in Semirechye is interesting because it features a unique blend of Islamic and Turkic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the Arabic inscription "La ilaha illallah" (There is no god but Allah) and the reverse side features a stylized representation of a horseman, which is a common motif in Turkic art. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich cultural diversity of the region and the exchange of ideas that occurred along the Silk Road.
