Comment
Al-muwayid ba nasr allah typeInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ahmad Shah I, who was the third Sultan of the Bahmani Sultanate and ruled from 1423 to 1435. During his reign, the Bahmani Sultanate was known for its military campaigns and territorial expansion, and this coin may have been used to finance some of those efforts. Additionally, the fact that it is made of copper and weighs 8 grams suggests that it was a widely used and practical coin for everyday transactions.
