Shahrukh's long reign saw him consolidate Timurid authority from Herat after the chaos following Timur's death in 1405, and his coinage reflects a deliberate program of administrative legitimacy — mints like Sari, deep in the Caspian coastal province of Mazandaran, were kept active precisely to project sovereignty into territories that had been contested or only loosely held. Sari itself had changed hands repeatedly during the post-Timurid scramble, making any tanka struck there a quiet political statement about who actually controlled the region's revenue infrastructure.
