Comment

I suggest this coins is probably BH115 rather than BH115A, the difference being the line above the date on reverse.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shams al-Din Muhammad Shah III, 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 as a medium of exchange in the region.
