| Additional information |
Jaloliddin Manguberdi — known in Western sources as Jalal ad-Din Mingburnu — was the last sultan of the Khwarazmian Empire, who led a prolonged resistance against the Mongol armies of Genghis Khan after the catastrophic fall of Samarkand in 1220. His father, Sultan Muhammad II, fled and died in hiding; Jaloliddin fought on for over a decade, winning a notable victory at the Battle of Parwan in 1221 before his eventual defeat at the Indus River later that same year.
His elevation to Uzbek coinage in 1999 reflected the young republic's active program of constructing a national historical canon around pre-Russian, pre-Soviet Central Asian figures.
