Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Islam Shah Suri, who was the second ruler of the Sur Empire and known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. Despite being made of silver, this coin was not widely accepted in trade due to its irregular minting and lack of standardization, leading to its limited circulation.
