| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged within a square cartouche set against a round flan, a hallmark of Timurid coin design. The central panel contains the mint name Herat (هرات) and the AH regnal year, rendered in bold Naskh script. A surrounding marginal legend, partially visible at the coin's edge, carries additional pious phrases or titles. The deeply incised lettering shows typical characteristics of hammered Timurid silver, with some weakness at the periphery due to irregular flan preparation. The overall composition reflects the formal epigraphic tradition of Timurid monetary art. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Shahrukh's long reign saw Herat transformed into the preeminent cultural capital of the eastern Islamic world, and his coinage reflects the administrative consolidation that made this possible. Unlike the fragmented issues of his brothers during the succession wars following Timur's death in 1405, Shahrukh rapidly standardized minting across his domains, with Herat as the dominant production center.
The tanka's weight standard under Shahrukh tracked closely to the Chaghataid tradition rather than the heavier Ilkhanid norm — a deliberate monetary policy that eased trade across the Transoxiana corridor.
