| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bold Arabic inscription filling the entire field in multiple lines, executed in an ornate, interlaced Naskh calligraphic style characteristic of Khivan tilla coinage. The inscription is set within a decorative cartouche framed by scrolling floral arabesques in high relief. The composition is enclosed by a beaded border that follows the irregular hammered flan. The overall design reflects the aesthetic conventions of nineteenth-century Central Asian Islamic numismatic art. |

Khiva's gold tillas of this period were struck under a khanate that had maintained uneasy independence between two expanding empires — Persia to the south and Russia to the north. By 1860, Russian military pressure on the Oxus frontier was becoming impossible to ignore; the khanate would fall under formal Russian protectorate status just thirteen years later, in 1873. Sayyid Muhammad Khan ruled from 1856 to 1864, a reign short enough that his coinage is genuinely scarce rather than artificially so.
Central Asian tillas of this era were struck by hand on locally prepared flans, with no pretense of mechanical uniformity.
