| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse field bearing Arabic legends arranged within a rectangular cartouche, likely containing the mint name (Herat), regnal year, and the name of the ruling Timurid sovereign. The inscription is set in bold Naskh-style Arabic script, consistent with Timurid monetary conventions. The surrounding marginal legend, partially visible due to the irregular flan, carries additional formulaic text. According to Stephen Album's Checklist of Islamic Coins, this type is designated Scarce (S), with Herat and Astarabad mint issues being relatively more common, while other mints are classified as Very Rare (RR). |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Timurid mint at Herat was among the most active in the Islamic world during the reign of Shah Rukh, who controlled the city from 1405 until his death in 1447 and made it a center of Persian cultural production. The small silver miri denomination — essentially a fractional accounting coin — circulated within a monetary system that relied heavily on the tanka as its base unit, with fractions struck to ease small-scale transactions in the bazaar economy.
Album 2407 covers a relatively tight range of Herati fractions from this period. The Zeno catalogue record for this piece provides the primary die reference for collectors working below the tanka level, where documentation remains thinner than for the main series.
