Abstract
This article examines the specific features, motivations, and historical significance of the monetary reform implemented by Abdullah Khan II in the Bukhara Khanate during the sixteenth century. Drawing on primary sources and numismatic evidence, the study analyzes the impact of Shaybanid political centralization on coinage standards, silver purity, weight measures, and mint operations. The author argues that this reform was not merely an economic adjustment, but a core pillar of state consolidation. The reform successfully standardized monetary circulation, revitalized domestic and international commerce, and strengthened state financial stability throughout Mawara'annahr.
