Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Emirate of Bukhara was facing challenges from neighboring empires and tribes, and the ruler, Haydar Tora bin Shah Murad, was struggling to maintain control. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the time remained consistent, with the Tilla coin being issued in gold, silver, and copper denominations. This speaks to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of the Emirate of Bukhara during a period of political instability.
