Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Soviet imagery. The coin's design includes a depiction of a rising sun, which was a common symbol of the Soviet Union, alongside an image of Sayyid Abdullah and Junaid Khan, who were prominent leaders of the Khiva Khanate. This blending of symbols reflects the complex history of the region, which was influenced by both Islamic and Soviet traditions.
