Abu'l-Fayz Khan ruled Bukhara as the last effective Janid khan, though "effective" is a generous term — real power had long since passed to the Uzbek tribal chiefs, particularly the Ming dynasty of Fergana and the Mangit commanders who effectively governed the khanate from behind the throne. His reign coincided with the catastrophic Dzungar invasions and Nadir Shah's 1740 incursion, which forced Abu'l-Fayz into humiliating vassalage to the Persian conqueror.
Gold tillas of this reign are the last of the Janid series. Within a decade of his murder in 1747, the Mangits had formalized their usurpation and founded their own amirate.
