Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in the region. The Emirate of Bukhara was a short-lived state that was established in 1904 and lasted until 1910, during which time Abdul-Ahad bin Muzaffar al-Din ruled as the Emir. This coin was minted during his reign and features his name and title on one side, while the other side features the denomination and date of minting. Despite the turmoil of the time, this coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region.
