Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shams al-Din Muzaffar Shah III, who was the last ruler of the Gujarat Sultanate before it was annexed by the Mughal Empire. Despite being the last ruler, he was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms, which helped to strengthen the Sultanate before its eventual decline.
