| Additional information |
Muhammad Alim Khan was the last Emir of Bukhara, ruling from 1910 until the Bolshevik-backed Red Army expelled him in 1920. These small copper fulus circulated during the final years of the emirate's effective independence, a period when the Bukharan state was nominally a Russian protectorate but retained its own coinage, judiciary, and internal administration. The arrangement had existed since 1873, when Bukhara signed away its foreign policy to St. Petersburg following military defeat.
Alim Khan fled to Afghanistan after the 1920 invasion, dying in Kabul in 1944.
