Comment
Krause includes year 1266 in C#95; however, that date is actually of a different type due to its extremely different obverse.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Muhammad Khudayar Khan, who was the ruler of the Khoqand Khanate, a state that existed in the 19th century in what is now modern-day Uzbekistan and parts of Kazakhstan. The coin was made of silver and weighed 2.8 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin of its time. Additionally, the coin features intricate designs and calligraphy, showcasing the artistic and cultural heritage of the region.
