One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ghiyath al-Din Mahmud, also known as Mahmud Shah, who was the second Sultan of the Sultanate of Bengal and ruled from 1532 to 1538. He was known for his military campaigns against the neighboring kingdoms and his efforts to promote trade and commerce within his kingdom. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 10.8 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin at that time.
