Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Bahram Shah, who was the last ruler of the Mamluk Dynasty and the first ruler of the Bahmani Sultanate. He was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms, which helped to strengthen the Sultanate and promote trade and commerce. The coin itself is made of billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during this time period, and weighs 3.4 grams.
