Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Murtaza Nizam Shah II, who was the last ruler of the Ahmadnagar Sultanate. He was known for his military campaigns against the neighboring kingdoms and his efforts to improve the economy and administration of the Sultanate. Despite his efforts, the Sultanate was eventually annexed by the Mughal Empire in 1636.
