Timur's copper coinage has long been treated as an afterthought beside his silver tangas, but the fals circulated where silver didn't — in markets, at city gates, among the craftsmen rebuilding Samarkand after he made it his capital in 1370. The half-dangi denomination served the daily arithmetic of bazaar trade across Transoxiana and Khorasan for the full thirty-five years of his campaigns.
Attribution within this series is complicated by the decentralized nature of Timurid minting, with multiple cities — Samarkand, Bukhara, Herat, Balkh — striking copper concurrently under varying local supervision and without consistent dating.
