Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Muzaffar Shah III, who was the last ruler of the Gujarat Sultanate before it was annexed by the Mughal Empire. Despite being made of copper, the coin still holds significant historical value and is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Indian subcontinent.
