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 was known for his efforts to consolidate the sultanate's power and defend it against the neighboring Mughal Empire. Despite his efforts, the sultanate was eventually annexed by the Mughals in 1573. This coin serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Indian Sultanates during that time period.
