Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ala-Ud-Din Ahmad Shah II, who was the last ruler of the Bahmani Sultanate before it was conquered by the Vijayanagara Empire. Despite being made of copper, this coin was still considered a standard circulation coin and was used widely in trade and commerce during its time.
