Comment
(1451-1458)Interesting fact
The 1½ Falus coin from the Sultanate of Gujarat, issued during the reign of Muhammad Shah II (1443-1451), features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural elements on its reverse side, reflecting the cultural exchange and syncretism that characterized the Indian Sultanates during that period.
