Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Rukn al-Din Barbak Shah, who was the last ruler of the Bengal Sultanate. Despite his efforts to maintain the empire's power, the Sultanate eventually collapsed in 1576, making this coin a piece of history from a bygone era.
