Comment
'4th Victory' typeInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ala al Din Husain Shah, who was the last ruler of the Sultanate of Bengal. He ruled from 1493 to 1518 and was known for his efforts to consolidate the sultanate's power and territory. Despite his efforts, the sultanate eventually fell to the Mughal Empire in 1576. This coin, made of silver and weighing 10.14 grams, is a testament to the economic and cultural achievements of the Sultanate of Bengal during this time period.
