RARE ! Gold Tilla, Manghit dynasty of Bukhara

Description

House of Emirates® is proud to present its elite clientele with an exceptional and historically rare Gold Tilla from the Manghit dynasty of Bukhara, struck during the reign of Nasr Allah Khan (1242–1277 AH / 1827–1860 AD).

Minted in 1265 AH (1849 AD), this remarkable piece embodies the political authority and artistic refinement of 19th-century Central Asia. Struck in lustrous gold and weighing 4.56 grams, the coin displays bold, flowing Islamic calligraphy, masterfully engraved and framed within elegant ornamental borders—an unmistakable testament to the prestige of Bukharan monetary art under Nasr Allah’s rule.

Graded Good Very Fine, the coin retains strong detail and pleasing eye appeal, with only a slight bend consistent with its age and historical circulation. Its scarcity significantly enhances its desirability, making it a compelling acquisition for investors of Islamic, Central Asian, and dynastic gold coinage.

This distinguished example boasts an illustrious provenance, having been offered previously in Baldwin’s Islamic Coin Auction 16, held on 20 October 2009, where it appeared as lot 613—a pedigree that further elevates its status and authenticity.

A rare survivor of the Manghit era, this gold Tilla is not merely a coin, but a tangible relic of Bukharan sovereignty, trade, and cultural legacy—an investment-grade treasure worthy of the most discerning collections.
