In 700 - 800 AH Indian Rulers wrote Persian "5" which is same as "4" in modern PersianInteresting 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. The coin's design features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu motifs, reflecting the cultural diversity of the Indian subcontinent during that time.
