History & Notable Facts
This 1905 5 Kopeks coin from Khiva was struck in the Russian Imperial Mint at St. Petersburg, a full 2,500 miles from the Khanate's desert sands.
That distance highlights how deeply Russian control extended into Central Asia, with Khiva's currency essentially a local flavor of imperial policy. The coin is pure copper, weighing around 8 grams, and bears the double-headed eagle on one side alongside Arabic script for the Khan on the other—a mismatched nod to both empires.
Records of exact mintage are murky; most were likely destroyed in the 1917 Revolution's chaos. What we know is that these pieces circulated briefly before the region unraveled.
Proving that even coins can travel farther than their intended users.
