| Obverse description | A hare depicted in left-facing profile, rendered in a bold, primitive style characteristic of Central Asian hammered copper coinage of the 18th century. The animal is shown in a crouching or bounding posture with elongated ears raised above the head. The design is deeply struck in relief against a plain, unadorned field, with no surrounding legend or border. The overall execution reflects the informal, artisanal die-cutting tradition of the Tashkent regional mint. |

| Additional information |
Tashkand operated as a largely autonomous city-state through much of the eighteenth century, caught between the declining Janid dynasty and the rising Khanate of Kokand, which finally absorbed it around 1809. Anonymous copper fulus from this period reflect that political ambiguity — no ruler's name means no political liability, a practical hedge when overlordships changed with regularity. The issuing authority mattered less than the metal's utility in local bazaar trade.
