TIMURID: Sultan Husayn, 1469-1506, AR 2 miri (1.49g), Astarabad, ND, A-A2437, unusually nice strike for this extremely rare denomination, strong VF, RR.
Presumably struck late in the reign, during the financial crisis which erupted after 906/1500. The term miri is a shortened form of amiri, i.e., "of the amir". Two miri would be 2/3 of a reduced tanka of about 2.38g (type #2436), which is known from dated examples 906-910. If one turns the reverse 1/4 to the left, then there is a symbol at the left that closely resembles the number 9, a large pellet to the right, as usual for zero, and another 9-like symbol at the bottom. Could this be a secretive 909, which would be a correct date for this type?
