Beschrijving voorzijde Hammered silver flan of irregular round shape bearing dense Arabic calligraphic legends in multiple registers filling the entire field. A prominent central cartouche contains the royal title and name of Sa'id Khan in bold naskh script. Additional marginal inscriptions in smaller script encircle the field, with decorative dot motifs visible along the upper rim. The overall arrangement is characteristic of Chagatai-style Central Asian coinage, with legends tightly interlocked across the surface.

Aanvullende informatie

Sa'id Khan founded the Yarkand Khanate in 1514 after seizing Kashgar and establishing the last significant Chagatai successor state in the Tarim Basin. This tanka would have been struck within the first two years of his reign, making it among the earliest coinage issued under his authority. The Yarkand mints were producing silver at a moment when Sa'id Khan was still consolidating control against the Dughlat amirs who had effectively governed the region as kingmakers for generations.

A#S3009 places this squarely in the Zeno oriental coins reference system for Chagatai-successor issues — a collecting area where attribution often depends more on mint orthography than on physical type.
