Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shams-ud-din Mohammad 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 valuable form of currency during its time.
