| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bears a bold Arabic inscription reading 'Struck in Bukhara' (بخارا ضرب) above the Hijri date 1336, rendered in large, flowing Nasta'liq script. The legends are contained within a beaded circular border, characteristic of Bukharan hammered coinage. The flan is irregular in shape, as typical of hand-struck Central Asian copper issues of this period. The relief is notably high, with the inscription dominating the entire field. Surface shows natural granularity consistent with the crude minting techniques employed at the Bukhara mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
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.
