A rare book by Abu Nasr al-Farabi, unique swords from the XI and XIV centuries, and coins from Bactria and China were found in Namangan. The Namangan Regional Administration press service reported this.

It is reported that the number of priceless exhibits in the New Akhsikent complex, which is part of the Akhsikent archaeological park, has increased by ten. The sword, which experts believe dates back to the 11th century, has been preserved in its original battle-worn condition. It was crafted from hard steel by the blacksmiths of Akhsikent.

Another weapon, from the 14th century, was used by Amir Timur's special forces. The Bactrian coin dates from 475-600 AD, while the Chinese coin, from the 19th century, has been meticulously studied by historian Sherali Kuldoshev.

"The two hieroglyphs on the right side of the coin read: Kashi / Kashi 喀 什 mean Kashgar. The two hieroglyphs on the left side: san/san 参 and jir / jin 金 mean gold. The hieroglyph at the top of the coin guang / guang 光- means light and the meaning of the hieroglyph at the bottom yuan / yuan 圓 is round or circle. The hieroglyph in the center hole is difficult to read but resembles xu 緒, suggesting the name Guangxu / Guangxu 光緒, who ruled China from 1875 to 1908," explains Sherali Kuldoshev.

Additionally, three rare books related to science, philosophy, and history have been found, containing unique knowledge.
