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 before it was annexed by the Mughal Empire. Despite being made of copper, the coin still holds significant historical value due to its association with the Sultanate and its ruler.
