Beschrijving voorzijde Struck on an irregular flan typical of Central Asian hammered coinage, the obverse bears a multi-line Arabic-script legend filling the field, with floral or foliate decorative elements interspersed among the inscriptions. The legends, rendered in a bold and somewhat cursive Naskh or Nasta'liq hand, occupy the central zone and are surrounded by a roughly circular dotted or cable border following the uneven coin edge. The overall aesthetic reflects the provincial mint style characteristic of the Khoqand Khanate in the early nineteenth century.

Aanvullende informatie

Muhammad 'Ali Khan — known also as Madali Khan — came to power in Khoqand in 1822 and aggressively expanded the khanate's territory into what is now Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan before his reign ended violently in 1842, when Bukharan forces invaded and executed him. The tenga was the standard silver denomination of Central Asian khanates, and Khoqand's issues from this period reflect the mint's relatively crude striking practices — hand-cut dies on irregular flans were the norm, meaning no two pieces share identical centering or surface character.
