Nizam Shahs of AhmadnagarInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Murtaza II, who was the son of Ahmad Nizam Shah I and ascended to the throne at the age of 14. Despite his young age, Murtaza II proved to be a capable ruler and his reign saw the expansion of the Ahmadnagar Sultanate's territories and the strengthening of its economy. The coin itself is made of copper and weighs 9.65 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin at that time.
