| Reverse description | A single Arabic-script word inscribed within a raised triangular frame mirroring the obverse design, bordered by a similar rope or cable pattern along all three sides. The central field bears a cursive Persian legend traditionally read as 'rusti', meaning 'strength'. Additional pellet or dot ornaments are visible in the field alongside the inscription, filling the triangular cartouche. The flan is irregular and the strike is characteristic of primitive hammered coinage. |

| Additional information |
The Khoqand Khanate occupied the Fergana Valley from its founding in the early 18th century until its forced annexation by the Russian Empire in 1876, following Kaufman's military campaign and the suppression of Pulat Khan's revolt. Anonymous copper pūls of this type circulated without a ruler's name precisely because the fractional copper coinage was issued on a purely utilitarian civic basis — silver and gold carried dynastic prestige, copper did not. The "var" designation against Islamic #3080 signals a die or fabric deviation not fully catalogued in the standard reference.
