Comment :
During his exile from 1540–1555, Humayun spent time in Persia and surrounding regions, including areas close to Badakhshan where he negotiated with local rulers for military and financial support.
Coins tied to Humayun and minted in or referencing Badakhshan are rare and highly valuable for collectors. They offer insights into:
1. Mughal trade routes and political diplomacy.
2. Humayun's exile period and his alliances with Persian and Central Asian leaders.
