Tanka - Bahadur Khan Ostensibly at Bukhara and Tashkent

Although well-represented in formerly Soviet museums, coins of this type do not seem to have appeared in the market. There seem to be two distinct groups, both with bahadur khan in the central cartouche, an earlier group with those words in naskhi (time of Iskandar, according to Davidovich), a later group with nasta‘liq script (probably struck in the chaotic years immediately following the death of ‘Abd Allah II in 1006). It is possible that this type is actually an anonymous issue (or two separate anonymous issues), as the title bahadur khan was applied by most Shaybanid rulers to their titulature.
