Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Mahmud Begada, who ruled the Sultanate of Gujarat from 1451 to 1458. During his reign, the Sultanate of Gujarat was known for its strong maritime trade and cultural exchange with other regions, including the Arabian Peninsula and Southeast Asia. This coin, made of copper and weighing 14.36 grams, was likely used for everyday transactions and could have been used to purchase goods such as spices, textiles, or other commodities that were traded in the region.
