Comment
Lots of varieties exist - 22-23mm diameter; upright and oblique milled edges; the star on the obverse can be full or outlined with 5 or 6 points. (It can also exist, rarely, without a star at all). Previously Y7.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political upheaval in the region. The Emirate of Bukhara was a short-lived state that was established in 1918, after the Russian Revolution, and it was eventually absorbed into the Soviet Union in 1920. This coin, minted in 1918-1919, represents a unique moment in the history of Central Asia, as it was a time of transition from traditional monarchies to modern nation-states.
