TIMURID: Badi' al-Zaman, rebel at Balkh, 1499-1502, AR tanka (4.69g), Balkh, ND, A-B2444, countermarked beh bud balkh in lobated rectangular cartouche on Sultan Ahmad, MM, DM (A-2452.2), about VF mark on F host, RR, ex Ruud Schüttenhelm Collection. There is a second countermark, type A-2438 of Sultan Husayn, used AH895-906, thus well before Badi' al-Zaman became king, but quite clearly applied later than that of Badi' al-Zaman. This piece seems to vindicate the assumption that this countermark applied to Badi al-Zaman's rebellion AH905-908, not to his reign as king, AH911-914, although it is conceivable that it was applied during both periods.
