Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Alim Khan, who was the last ruler of the Khoqand Khanate, a state that existed in what is now modern-day Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and parts of Kazakhstan. Despite being the last ruler, Alim Khan's reign was marked by significant political and economic reforms, including the introduction of a new currency, which this coin was a part of. This coin, made of silver, was used as a standard circulation coin during his reign and weighed 3.96 grams.
