Comment

Goron and Goenka book as well as other reading sources had mentioned a dated coin with date AH950/AH951. Adding here for reference purposes only.
The AH951 coin weighs 11.24grams having diameter 19.69mm and the AH950 weights 17grams with diameter 22.14mm.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Kalimullah Shah, who was the last ruler of the Bahmani Sultanate, and his rule marked the beginning of the decline of the Sultanate. Despite this, the coin still holds significant historical and numismatic value, providing insight into the economic and political state of the region during that time.
