Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nasir Al-Din Mahmud Shah III, who was the last ruler of the Gujarat Sultanate. He ruled from 1537 to 1555, and during his reign, the Sultanate was known for its cultural and artistic achievements, including the construction of beautiful mosques, palaces, and other architectural wonders. Despite his efforts to strengthen the Sultanate, it eventually fell to the Mughal Empire in 1573.
