Interesting fact
The 1 Tenga coin from the Khanate of Khiva, minted in 1337 (1919), features an interesting combination of Islamic and Soviet influences in its design. On one side, it has an inscription in Arabic that reads "Sayyid Abdullah and Junaid Khan" without a crescent symbol, indicating a shift towards secularism during the Soviet era. On the other side, it features a hammer and sickle, symbolizing the Soviet Union's influence on the region. This coin is a unique example of how currency can reflect the political and cultural changes of a particular time and place.
