Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Muhammad Adil Shah, who was the Sultan of Bijapur from 1627 to 1657. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to promote trade and commerce in the region. The coin itself is made of copper and weighs 7.25 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. Additionally, the coin features an inscription in Persian that reads "Muhammad Adil Shah, Sultan of Bijapur" which indicates the importance of Persian language and culture in the region during that period.
