Flag of the Khanate of Kokand

Description

  • The Khanate of Kokand (1709–1876) was the third Uzbek Central Asian state of the 18th–19th centuries, ruling the Ferghana Valley, parts of eastern Turkestan, and briefly southern Kazakhstan
  • Construction: an olive-green field bearing a pale yellow crescent and five-pointed star — typical Islamic banner iconography
  • Defeated and dissolved by Russia in 1876 after the Kokand Uprising; its territory became the Ferghana Oblast of the Russian Empire

Trivia

  • At its 19th-century peak, Kokand controlled much of modern Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, southern Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan
  • The Khanate's wealth came from Silk Road trade between China, India, Persia, and Russia
  • Home of the Khudoyar Khan Palace, one of the last great Central Asian royal residences
