Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Jani Muhammad Khan, who was the last ruler of the Janid dynasty in Bukhara. Despite being made of silver, the coin weighs only 4.55 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar composition. This may indicate that the coin was designed to be easily portable and accessible to a wide range of people, reflecting the Janid dynasty's efforts to promote trade and commerce during their rule.
