Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nasir al-Din Nusrat Shah, who was the last Sultan of the Bengal Sultanate. He ruled from 1519 to 1521 and was known for his efforts to consolidate the Sultanate's power and territory. Despite his efforts, the Sultanate ultimately fell to the Mughal Empire in 1576. This coin is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Indian subcontinent during the medieval period.
