| Reverse description | Central field filled with a multi-line Arabic-script legend in nastaʿlīq, presenting the mint name and Hijri regnal date, arranged across the flan in sweeping diagonal strokes. The inscription is contained within a double linear inner circle, itself surrounded by a prominent outer border of large raised beads forming a continuous dotted ring around the circumference. The overall presentation is typical of Khoqand Khanate copper pūl coinage, with the characteristic irregular planchet and bold, slightly worn relief. |

| Additional information |
The Khoqand Khanate under Muhammad Khudayar Khan was anything but stable — he was deposed and restored to the throne three times between 1845 and 1875, caught between Bukharan pressure and the advancing Russian Empire. This pūl was struck during his first reign, before the Russians had consolidated their push into the Fergana Valley. Small copper issues like this one circulated heavily in bazaar trade along the Silk Road routes that still functioned through Khoqand, and attrition was severe.
