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 ruler of the Bengal Sultanate. He ruled from 1519 to 1531 and was known for his efforts to consolidate the sultanate's power and centralize its administration. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the Islamic influences that were prevalent during this time period in Bengal.
