72 rati standardInteresting 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 1546 to 1554 and was known for his efforts to consolidate the sultanate's power and restore its prosperity. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
