Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Jalal ud-Din Muhammad Shah, who was the last Sultan of the Bengal Sultanate. He ruled from 1416 to 1433 and 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 10.80 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time.
