TASHKENT, April 15. /“Dunyo” IA/. The State Museum of Timurids History of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan presents samples of coins from the found Sanganak treasure, reports “Dunyo” IA correspondent.
The coins of the New Sanganak treasury represent the majority of the ancient coins kept in the museum. They were found in March 2021 in a pottery pit 50-60 cm deep during excavation of a site in the courtyard of a resident of the Yangi Sanganak mahalla in the Parkent district of Tashkent region.
The coins were rusty and battered from years in the ground. In the museum, the coins were counted, cleaned, and their number was established – 1810 pieces. When some coins were cleaned of rust and examined, it turned out that they constitute a hoard of copper coins minted in Samarkand, Bukhara and Tashkent in the 15th-16th centuries, during the reign of the Timurids and the Shaybani dynasty on the territory of Uzbekistan.
The found coins and information about them give an idea of what monetary samples were used in the trading system by our ancestors.
