| Additional information |
Shahrukh Mirza, fourth son of Timur and ruler of the eastern Timurid domains from Herat, issued this tanka during the period when he was consolidating control over Fars and the Persian Gulf littoral following his campaigns against the Kara Koyunlu. Lar, located in Fars province, served as a significant silver-trading node on routes connecting the Persian interior to Hormuz and the maritime commerce beyond. The mint there operated intermittently under shifting regional governors, which accounts for the type variation catalogued by Album — the A.2 designation distinguishes specific calligraphic arrangements that correlate with discrete administrative appointments rather than simple die progression.
