Interesting fact
The 1 Tilla coin from the Khanate of Khiva, made of gold and weighing 4.53g, is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Sayyid Muhammad Khan in 1276 (1860), a time when the Khanate was facing significant political and economic challenges, including the encroachment of Russian and British empires and the decline of the traditional Silk Road trade. Despite these challenges, the Khanate managed to maintain its independence and cultural identity, as reflected in the design of this coin, which features traditional Islamic motifs and calligraphy.
