Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abu Hasan Qutb Shah, who was the last ruler of the Golkonda Sultanate. He was known for his love of art and architecture, and his reign saw the construction of many beautiful buildings and monuments, including the famous Charminar in Hyderabad. Despite his passion for the arts, Abu Hasan Qutb Shah's reign was marked by political instability and conflicts with neighboring kingdoms, ultimately leading to the decline of the Golkonda Sultanate.
