Interesting fact
The 8 Fulus coin from the Emirate of Bukhara, minted in 1335 (1917), is interesting because it features a unique blend of Islamic and Soviet influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "محمد عالم خان بن عبد الاحد" (Muhammad Alim Khan bin Abdul-Ahad) in Arabic script, indicating the name of the ruler who issued the coin. The reverse side features a stylized representation of a cotton plant, which was a significant crop in the region and a symbol of the country's agricultural wealth. The coin's design combines traditional Islamic motifs with the modernizing influences of the Soviet era, reflecting the complex cultural and political context of the time.
