Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Baj Bahadur, also known as Akbar, who was the last ruler of the Sultanate of Malwa. Despite being the last ruler, he was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms, which helped to strengthen the kingdom. This coin, which was made of copper and weighed 5.3 grams, was likely used for everyday transactions and would have been a common sight in the markets and bazaars of the time.
