1 Tenga - Abdul-Ahad bin Muzaffar al-Din

Abdul-Ahad ruled Bukhara as a Russian protectorate from 1885, and the tenga issues of his reign reflect that awkward political reality — the emirate retained its own coinage but existed entirely at St. Petersburg's sufferance. The Russians found him reliably cooperative, and he spent considerable time at the imperial court, becoming one of the few Central Asian rulers to develop genuinely close ties with the Tsar.

Silver tengas of this period are frequently encountered with weak, off-center strikes, a persistent characteristic of the Bukharan mint rather than any particular die state.
