Biography
After that, Suyunchhoja Khan renounced the title of Supreme Khan and, as seniority, transferred it to his older brother. Kuchkunji Khan (1512–1530) became the Supreme Khan of the Bukharan khanate. In 1513–1523, Kuchkunji Khan carried out a monetary reform, which, unlike Shaybani Khan's monetary reform, was less thoughtful and took about 10 years. However, it contributed to the growth of the economy and trade. The title of Kuchkunji Khan "Sultan Khakan Abu Mansur Bahadurkhan", as well as the names of the first four caliphs, were placed on the coins. He was succeeded by his eldest son Abu Sa'id.
