Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abu Hasan Qutb Shah, who was the last ruler of the Qutub Shahi dynasty of the Sultanate of Golkonda. He ruled from 1672 to 1699 and was known for his religious tolerance, and his court was a center of learning and culture. Despite his efforts to modernize and strengthen the kingdom, the Sultanate of Golkonda was eventually annexed by the Mughal Empire in 1687. This coin, made of copper and weighing 10.1 grams, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Indian Sultanates.
