Comment
Note: Gujarat StandardInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shams-ud-din Muzaffar Shah II, who was the last ruler of the Gujarat Sultanate. He ruled from 1518 to 1520 and was known for his efforts to consolidate the sultanate's power and restore its prosperity. Despite his efforts, the sultanate was eventually annexed by the Mughal Empire in 1573. This coin serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Indian Sultanates during the medieval period.
