Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the Qungrat dynasty, which was a Turkic dynasty that ruled the Khanate of Khiva from 1804 to 1920. The Qungrat dynasty was known for its strong military and cultural achievements, and this coin is a reflection of that era's rich history and heritage.
