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