| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displaying a multi-line Arabic inscription in raised relief, arranged in horizontal registers across the irregular flan. The legend likely contains the mint name, regnal formula, or Quranic phrase associated with Shah Rukh's coinage, rendered in a bold but somewhat rough calligraphic hand. A prominent vertical stroke divides the central area, flanked by additional lettering to either side. The surface shows the characteristic granular texture and uneven strike typical of small Timurid hammered fractional silver issues. No outer legend or decorative border is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Shah Rukh ruled the Timurid successor state from Herat for over four decades after the death of his father Timur in 1405, and his long reign produced an unusually stable silver coinage for the region. The fractional tanka denominations — including this third — were essential to everyday commerce in Khorasan and Transoxiana, where bazaar trade demanded small silver rather than the larger tankas favored for tribute and treasury payments.
Album 2408 encompasses a wide geographic spread of mints active under Shah Rukh's authority, and attribution to a specific city frequently depends on partially legible mint names on worn or poorly struck flans — a persistent challenge with this denomination given the small working surface.
