Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ala al-din Firuz II (Fathabad) coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Sultanate of Bengal. The coin was minted in 1531-1532, during the reign of Ala al-din Firuz II, who was the last ruler of the Sultanate of Bengal before it was annexed by the Mughal Empire. This period saw a lot of political instability and conflict, with the Sultanate facing threats from both internal rivals and external powers. Despite this, the coin remains a testament to the rich cultural and economic heritage of the Sultanate of Bengal during this time.
