Interesting fact
The Pul coin was issued during the third reign of Muhammad Khudyar Khan, who was the ruler of the Khoqand Khanate, a state that existed in the late 19th century in Central Asia. The coin was made of copper and weighed 3.5 grams. What's interesting about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin features the name of the ruler and the date of issue in the Persian language, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a Mongolian gazelle, which was a symbol of the Khanate. This blend of cultures reflects the rich history and diversity of the region where the coin was issued.
