| Obverse description | Crudely struck hammered copper flan with an irregular, scalloped rim characteristic of Central Asian pul coinage. The field bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in angular script, divided by a horizontal line, with the legend occupying the upper portion of the die area. The surface displays heavy patination with green and brown deposits consistent with prolonged circulation and burial. The overall style reflects the primitive minting practices of the Khoqand Khanate workshop. |

| Additional information |
Sayyid Sultan's reign over Khoqand was brief and turbulent — he was placed on the throne in 1863 amid factional violence and deposed within months, making coinage struck in his name among the shortest-lived issues of the entire khanate sequence. The Fergana Valley mints were already under mounting pressure from Russian imperial expansion during this period; the siege of Tashkent was only two years away.
Album 3072 is sparsely documented, and surviving examples turn up almost exclusively through Central Asian specialist sales.
