Tanka - Shahrukh Mirza Sawah mint

Shahrukh ibn Timur ruled from Herat for four decades, consolidating a realm his father had built through slaughter into something closer to a functioning state. The Sawah mint — located in the old Seljuk administrative center southwest of Tehran — was intermittently active under Timurid control and represents one of the westernmost points at which Shahrukh's monetary authority was exercised. His reign saw a deliberate effort to standardize silver coinage across a sprawling and fractious territory, with religious formulae replacing Shahrukh's own name on many issues as a mark of orthodox Sunni legitimacy.
