Tanka - 'Abd al-Amin Balkh

The Shaybanid dynasty was in terminal collapse by 1598. 'Abd al-Amin's reign lasted barely a year before he was killed by his own cousin, Din Muhammad, ending the Shaybanid line entirely and opening Central Asia to the Janid dynasty. Balkh, as a major node on the Oxus trade routes, continued striking coin even as political authority disintegrated around it.

Album 2999 covers the final Shaybanid issues, and Balkh mint tankas from this specific reign are among the scarcest in the series.
