Wikipedia comments, "The Emirate of Bukhara (Persian: امارت بخارا‎; Uzbek: Buxoro amirligi) was a Central Asian polity that existed from 1785 to 1920 in what is now modern-day [[Uzbekistan]] and Tajikistan. It occupied the land between the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers, known formerly as Transoxiana. Its core territory was the land along the lower Zarafshan River, and its urban centres were the ancient cities of Samarkand and the emirate's capital, Bukhara. It was contemporaneous with the Khanate of Khiva to the west, in Khwarezm, and the Khanate of Kokand to the east, in Fergana." This specimen was lot 709 in Stephen Album sale 39 (Santa Rosa, CA, January 2021), where it sold for $288.

This type was struck AH 1201-1202 after the khan's death. It is the most common coin of this ruler. The tilla was a gold denomination also used in Afghanistan, with which Bukhara shared a rather moveable border.
