Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tanka - Shahrukh Mirza (Countermarked type) ND (1405-1447) coin from the Timurid Empire (Mongol States) is that it features a unique countermark, which is a small stamp or symbol that was added to the coin after it was minted. This countermark is believed to have been added by the mint officials to indicate that the coin was issued during the reign of Shahrukh Mirza, who was the son of Timur and became the ruler of the Timurid Empire in 1405. The countermark is a small circle with a dot in the center, and it can be found on the reverse side of the coin, near the edge. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and historians, as it provides a way to authenticate the coin and learn more about its history.
