Historical Context: This 5 Tenga, dated 1919, emerges from the tumultuous final years of the Khivan Khanate. Nominally under Sayyid Abdullah Khan, effective power rested with Junaid Khan, a Turkmen chieftain who controlled Khiva after the collapse of Russian imperial authority. This period marks a complex interregnum, where traditional Khivan governance struggled against rising Soviet influence, preceding the Khanate's dissolution in 1920. The coinage represents a final assertion of local sovereignty amidst profound geopolitical upheaval.
Artistry: The coin prominently features a "Sun full" motif, symbolizing divine power or the Khan's authority, framed by a richly "decorative border." This stylistic approach is characteristic of traditional Central Asian Islamic numism
