Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ala Humayun Shah, who was the second ruler of the Bahmani Sultanate and known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. Despite his achievements, his rule was cut short due to his untimely death in 1461, at the age of 32. This coin serves as a reminder of his brief but impactful reign.
