Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Kalimullah Shah, who was the last ruler of the Bahmani Sultanate, and it bears his name and title, "Kalimullah Shah" in Persian script on one side, and the other side features a stylized depiction of a lion, which was a common motif in Bahmani coinage.
