Balkh, Afghanistan

Comments

Struck for use within the Janid dynastic territories.

 

Shahrukhi is the name of a silver coin type, the term comes from Shah Rukh, son of Tamerlane, who standardized this coin in the 15th century. The name continued to be used as a monetary designation for centuries.

 

Since Balkh was within the sphere of Janid influence, this monetary standard remained in circulation there.
