Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ala al din Ahmad shah ii, who was the last ruler of the Bahmani Sultanate, and his reign marked the beginning of the decline of the Sultanate. Despite this, the coin still holds significant historical value and is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Indian Sultanates.
