Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of 'Abd al-Amin, who was the last ruler of the Shaybanid dynasty. Despite his efforts to maintain power, the dynasty came to an end during his reign, marking the transition from the Shaybanid Empire to the Khanate of Bukhara. This coin serves as a piece of history, representing a significant turning point in the political landscape of Central Asia during the 16th century.
