Interesting 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 and ruled from 1512 to 1526. Despite being the last ruler, he was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms, which helped to strengthen the Sultanate before it was eventually annexed by the Mughal Empire.
