Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mahmud Shah Bahmani, who was the first ruler of the Bahmani Sultanate to issue coins in his own name, rather than in the name of the Delhi Sultanate. This indicates that the Bahmani Sultanate was becoming increasingly independent and powerful during this time period.
