1 Cash - Oghitmai - Tukhus tribe

A relic of the medieval era, the 1 Cash - Oghitmai - Tukhus tribe from Tukhus tribe (Semirechye) (730–766), denomination 1 Cash, offers collectors a tangible link to a world of knights, merchants, and pilgrims. The survival of any medieval coin in collectible condition is remarkable given the centuries of circulation, burial, and rediscovery these pieces have endured. This medieval coin dates from a period of feudal governance, crusades, and the gradual emergence of nation-states across Europe, Asia, and the Islamic world. Medieval coinage was produced by royal mints operating under strict royal prerogative, using hand-cut dies and manually operated screw or hammer presses. The relatively crude appearance of many medieval coins belies their historical importance: they are direct, tactile evidence of the economic and political structures of the Middle Ages. Cast in bronze, representing the everyday currency of its era, this coin provides a direct link to the daily economic life of its period. Bronze and its alloys — mixtures of copper with tin or zinc — have served as coinage metals since antiquity, providing affordable, durable tokens suitable for small everyday transactions that gold and silver pieces were too valuable to fulfill. Numismatic interest in this coin is supported by its combination of historical significance, artistic merit, and the inherent appeal of its material composition. Collectors are advised to consult reputable dealer networks and major auction records when assessing fair market value. For acquisition and sale, the services of established numismatic dealers or major auction houses provide the best combination of price discovery, authentication, and buyer/seller protection.
