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. Despite his efforts to reform the kingdom, the Sultanate was eventually annexed by the Mughal Empire in 1573, marking the end of Gujarat's independence. This coin serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Indian Sultanates.
