Tanka - Abu'l-Muzaffar Ya'qub Tabriz mint

Ya'qub ibn Uzun Hasan came to power in 1478 following a succession struggle after his father's death and proved to be among the more capable Aq Qoyunlu rulers — his reign saw a genuine florescence of courtly culture in Tabriz, including patronage of illustrated manuscripts that later influenced Safavid artistic production. The Tabriz mint was the confederation's most productive and prestigious striking facility, sitting at the crossroads of trade routes connecting Anatolia, the Caucasus, and Iran.

Ya'qub's death in 1490 triggered immediate fragmentation. The tankas struck in his final years were circulating into a polity already in terminal decline, gone entirely to Safavid conquest by 1501.
