| Beschrijving voorzijde | Entirely epigraphic field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in bold Naskh script, issued in the name of the Chagatai overlord Sultan Mahmud Khan with acknowledgment of his supreme authority by yarligh (royal decree), followed by the name and title of Emir Timur Gurkan. The inscription fills the full flan and is enclosed within a beaded border. The legend asserts both the nominal suzerainty of the Chagatai khan and the effective power of Timur as ruler. No figural or geometric ornament appears; the design is purely calligraphic in the Central Asian Timurid tradition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Timur ruled one of the largest land empires of the 14th century while maintaining the legal fiction that he governed as regent for a puppet Chinggisid khan — his coinage reflected this carefully. Tankas of this period were typically struck in the name of a nominal Chinggisid sovereign, not Timur himself, preserving the Mongol legitimizing framework he never formally abandoned despite conquering from Delhi to Ankara.
The Samarkand mint was his most prolific, though attribution to specific mints within the Timurid system requires reading the mint name in the coin's inscriptions rather than relying on type alone.
