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 before it was conquered by the Vijayanagara Empire. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item due to its historical significance and the limited number of coins minted during that time period.
