Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when the Maldives was under the rule of the Sultanate of Mysore, which was a powerful kingdom in southern India. This coin, along with other coins minted during this period, features the name of the Sultan of Mysore, Mohamed bin Hajj Ali Thukkala, and the year of minting in the Islamic calendar, 1104 (1693 AD). This highlights the strong cultural and economic ties between the Maldives and the Sultanate of Mysore during this time.
