Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nasir Al-Din Mahmud Shah III, who was the last ruler of the Gujarat Sultanate. He ruled from 1551 to 1555, and during his reign, he took several measures to strengthen the economy and military of the Sultanate. Despite his efforts, the Sultanate was eventually annexed by the Mughal Empire in 1573. This coin serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Indian Sultanates.
