Comment : 
Babur (r. 1526–1530), the founder of the Mughal Empire, was a descendant of Timur and Genghis Khan. His coinage initially adhered to the traditions of his Timurid heritage.
Babur's Shahrukhi coinage marks an important transitional phase in the numismatic history of the Indian subcontinent, reflecting the Timurid legacy that Babur carried into India and adapted to his new Mughal Empire.
Babur issued Shahrukhis in areas under his control, such as Kabul, Ghazni, and later in northern India after the Battle of Panipat in 1526. 
Babur's Shahrukhi coinage is a testament to his effort to maintain continuity with his Timurid roots while establishing the foundations of a new empire in India. These coins offer valuable insights into the early Mughal period and Babur's vision as a ruler. These Shahrukhis are rare, as his reign in India was brief and much of his coinage remains Rare
