Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shahrukh Mirza, who was a prominent ruler of the Timurid Empire and known for his military campaigns and cultural achievements. The coin features an inscription in Persian that reads "Shahrukh Mirza, the Just King" and includes the date of issue in the Islamic calendar, which adds to its historical significance. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper, a relatively common metal at the time, suggests that it was widely used in trade and commerce during that period.
