Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ala Al Din Mahmud I Shah, who was the ruler of the Sultanate of Malwa in central India during the 15th century. The coin is made of billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper, and weighs 9.16 grams. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today due to its historical significance and the limited number of coins that were minted during that time period.
