The Bābur-nāma in English (Memoirs of Bābur)

Note 1177 — SECTION II. KĀBUL666 (continued 2)

Annette Susannah Beveridge translation

The nearest approach to kipkī we have found in Dictionaries is kupaki, which comes close to the Russian copeck. Erskine notes that the casbeké is an oval copper coin (Tavernier, p. 121); and that a tūmān is a myriad (10,000). Cf. Manucci (Irvine), i, 78 and iv, 417 note; Chardin iv, 278.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
