Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nizam Al Din Ahmad Shah III, who was the last ruler of the Bahmani Sultanate. He ruled from 1462 until his death in 1463, and this coin was minted during his brief reign. Despite his short time in power, Ahmad Shah III is remembered for his efforts to consolidate the power of the Sultanate and for his patronage of the arts. This coin is a tangible reminder of his legacy and the rich history of the Bahmani Sultanate.
