Historical Context: This silver Tanka, known as a 'Shahrukhi', was issued by Husain Ibn Baiqara, the last great Timurid ruler of Herat, during his reign from 1469 to 1506. His era marked the zenith of the Timurid Renaissance, a period of unparalleled cultural and artistic flourishing centered in Herat. The 'Shahrukhi' denomination continued the established monetary standard set by Shahrukh, underscoring a link to the dynasty's earlier prestige amidst increasing regional fragmentation.
Artistry: The coin's design exemplifies the sophisticated calligraphic tradition prevalent in Timurid numismatics, particularly from the renowned Herat mint. While specific engravers are anonymous, the stylistic school is characterized by elegant Naskh or Thuluth scripts
