this shah's name was Sikandar but his title was Ala-ud-din Shah II
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Fakhr Al-Din Mubarak Shah, who was the last ruler of the Sultanate of Madurai. He ruled from 1358 to 1368 and was known for his efforts to consolidate the sultanate's power and territory. Despite his efforts, the sultanate ultimately fell to the Vijayanagara Empire in 1378. This coin serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Indian Sultanates during the medieval period.
