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's design features an inscription in Persian that reads "Shahrukh Mirza, the Just King" and includes an image of a lion, which was a symbol of power and strength in Mongol culture. Despite being made of silver, the coin weighs only 5.1 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar composition. This may indicate that the coin was intended for everyday use and circulation, rather than being a ceremonial or commemorative issue.
