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 before it was annexed by the Mughal Empire. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item due to its historical significance and the fact that it is made of billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in coinage during that time period.
