Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ghiyath al-Din Jalal, who was the last Sultan of the Bengal Sultanate. Despite his efforts to maintain the empire's power, the Sultanate was eventually absorbed into the Mughal Empire in 1576. This coin serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Indian subcontinent.
