Comment
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mahmud Shah bin Muhammad, who was the last ruler of the Sayyid dynasty and the Sultanate of Delhi. He ruled from 1393 to 1413 and his reign marked the end of the Sultanate of Delhi, which was eventually absorbed into the Mughal Empire. This coin, made of copper and weighing 4.13 grams, is a testament to the economic and cultural exchange that took place during this time period in Indian history.
