Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shams al Din Muzaffar Shah III, who was the last ruler of the Gujarat Sultanate before it was annexed by the Mughal Empire. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item due to its historical significance and the fact that it is made of copper, which was a valuable material at the time.
