| Additional information |
Burhan Sayyid governed Bukhara as a largely autonomous figure under the broader Shaybanid framework, and the countermark on this tanka reflects a practice common when local rulers needed to validate — or re-validate — coinage circulating within their jurisdiction without undertaking a full restrike. The Album 3004 type is sufficiently scarce that die studies remain incomplete, and attribution to specific emission years within the 1551–1557 window typically relies on the countermark placement and host coin identification rather than any explicit dating on the piece itself.
