Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ala al Din Husain, also known as Husain Shah, who was the last ruler of the Sultanate of Bengal. He ruled from 1493 to 1518 and was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. This coin, which was made of silver and weighed 10.42 grams, was likely used for everyday transactions and circulated widely throughout the Sultanate. Despite its age, it remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the economic and cultural achievements of the Sultanate of Bengal during that time.
