| Additional information |
Muhammad Alim Khan was the last Emir of Bukhara, and these copper tengas were struck during the final, desperate years of his rule as Bolshevik pressure mounted from the north. The emirate fell in September 1920 when Red Army forces under Mikhail Frunze took Bukhara in under three days; Alim Khan fled to Dushanbe, then permanently into exile in Afghanistan.
The KM#46.2 / Y#6a designation distinguishes this from earlier issues by die characteristics particular to the late emission. Alim Khan died in Kabul in 1944, never having recovered his throne.
