The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with hand-hammered production methods of the period. |

| Additional information |
The Khoqand Khanate sat at a crossroads of the Silk Road in the Fergana Valley, and Muhammad Khudayar Khan's reign was anything but stable — he was deposed and restored to the throne three separate times before Russian forces finally absorbed the khanate in 1876. These tillas circulated during the first of his three reigns, a period of persistent pressure from both Bukhara to the west and the advancing Russian Empire to the north. Khudayar ultimately died in exile in Kabul.
