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 1518 to 1533 and was known for his efforts to consolidate the sultanate's power and promote trade and commerce. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, with the use of Arabic script and Islamic symbols. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Indian subcontinent.
