Babur’s silver Shahrukhi coinage marked the continuation of Timurid monetary traditions after his conquest of North India in 1526. Minted in his name, these coins often followed the weight standard of Shahrukh Mirza. Featuring elegant Persian inscriptions, they symbolized Babur’s authority and Timurid legacy while establishing the Mughal dynasty’s early numismatic identity in India.
